Cherokee Red Lyrics

Cherokee Red lyrics

in a pile of trash on the corner of first and park.

almost as tall as the
street light.

we pulled over.

two kids on a black and white
dyno.

my mom and dad bought for my birthday.

just last week.

we're finding our fortune here.

once upon a time.

brothers by a
pocket knife.

you traded me your secrets.

i traded you all of
mine.

sometimes when i'm looking back now.

i wish i could say i'm
sorry.

i'm thinking of me and you.

back when things felt right.

this morning we met at the playground.

we sat on the side of the
tractor tire.

and talked of our plans for the next five days.

over
some cherokee red.

sometime back in late november.

we checked out
the ice together.

the rope tied around my waist.

you'd pull me back
if i would fall.

late night.

sending signals through the open blinds
with flashlights.

the neighbors dog would bark till early morning
sunrise.

some roman candles and a book of matches that night.

explaining burn marks in our clothes at dinner.

headlights that ran
across the bedroom wall.

we thought that it might be a ufo from outer
space.

and sometimes we crawled out on the roof.

and tuned the
radio into the auto-rama drive in movie show
