An old photograph hangs on the wall, Faces frozen back in time, Draws me in and get me wondering
Who's that family of mine, Long dark hair and coal black eyes Faces talk right back to me
Something’s in my blood I can’t explain The sun rides low and leaves turn gold I close my eyes and smell the wind Hunt the woods, take what I need, I understand the river’s flow
I came down a Cherokee line, Far as I could track em down Way back up in Tennessee, Mountain shack, they worked the dirt Farmer wed an Indian girl Had a family, came on down Settled down in Caroline
Family stories down through time Help fill in the lines Who they were and what they did, Elder's spirit's in the wind, My turn now to carry on Pass on down the Cherokee line, Something’s in my blood I can’t explain The sun rides low and leaves turn gold I close my eyes and smell the wind Hunt the woods, take what I need, I understand the river’s flow I came down a Cherokee line,
