    “All right, this song’s called Cherokee. I’m just sitting here with a parlor guitar in a tee-shirt and a ballcap, but I’m about to blow your mind with a song of immense subtlety and profound emotion. I hope that’s cool with everyone.”

    "I still use your old alarm clock."
    It's just little things like that that keep me floored by John.

    Lost my wife to a brain tumor back in 2013, this song is like gut punch. When he sings the line, “I’ve given up on ever being well” it resonates in every fiber of my being.

    I just discovered this man a couple of weeks ago, to say I was floored would be an understatement. I waited about a week to listen to him again just to see if he had the same impact, yes he does. I believe this man is destined for commercial greatness but even if that does not happen, he is an American Treasure, no doubt about it.

    This is a masterclass of poetry and expression of grief. It's intentionally vague. The listener can better relate to the song that way. It also has inside references that remain unexplained that mean something to him, but it's up to you as the listener to derive your own meaning.

    Here you go if you want to sing along
    guess I got a taste for poison
    I've given up on ever bein well
    I keep mindin the horizon
    Diggin for lies I have yet to tell
    And I wish you were here
    To softly say my name
    Calm down all the chemicals tearin through my brain
    I don't think I've missed you this much
    Since I was seventeen
    I'd call you in the morning, but I think this is a dream
    Cherokee
    Cherokee
    Well you'd call those doubts right out of me
    I see you shinin through the tree tops,
    But don't feel you pulling strings anymore
    I still use your old alarm clock
    Every mornin I get further off the course.
    And don't I hear you speakin in the noises in this house
    Airplanes flyin over, shakin all my secrets out
    Darlin tell me somethin that I don't already know
    I'm aware of where to find ya it hurts too bad to go
    To Cherokee
    Cherokee
    Well, you call those doubts right out of me
    It felt like the world was burnin
    You had stars in your eyes
    Shinin for a feelin that I can't afford to buy
    Everything you taught me still rattles in my head I'm stayin off of Main Street,
    You're talking to the dead
    In Cherokee
    Cherokee
    I wish you'd call these doubts right out of me
