Lyrics

Blood thicker than oil
Ostensibly, a Cherokee drum beats beneath my feet
Brought in late to the foil
We both know there's no drum that sounds for me
Family not of kin still has love that over flows the brim
Just goes to show how oil can be spread so very thin
From California to Utah to Arkansas and back
A little girl will explain to her son
That her father is not her dad
A concept he won't grasp until later on in life
Blood does not equal love
It's more about the bonds that we tie
He took me to all the Powwows and said
This is who we are
As a boy
I fell in love with all of the long haired girls
And watched them dance from afar
He showed me how to make flutes from hand tools
Just like his ancestors
He felt no need to explain to me
That I had no point upon his antlers
Either way, we were family
More love to give than the time he had left
His wife always his bride
If he was good, he was vertical
Burned her name on driftwood from ocean tide
So that drum you hear beneath me
When I come walking by
Know that it's a proud and happy Cherokee man
Watching above in the sky
