I wanna live like a Cherokee
I wanna live like the red man live
I wanna be oh so proud and free
I wanna take what the earth could give
I wanna stay where the trees are green
And breathe an air that is fresh and clean
And taste the world that is cold and pure
I wanna be oh so free
Don't wanna stay in the city lights
My life is wasted whitin the crowd
I wanna stay where the skies are bright
And where the sun shining through the clouds
I wanna leave everything behind
And find a place that I hope to find
My Shangrila's waiting there for me
Where I can be oh so free
I wanna live like
I wanna live like
I wanna live like a Cherokee
I wanna be like
I wanna be like
Be like the free Cherokee
I wanna live like a Cherokee
I wanna live like the red man live
I wanna be oh so proud and free
I wanna take what the earth could give
The city can't give the things I need
The city air is so hard to breathe
I wanna go where the earth is clean
I wanna be oh so free
I wanna live like
I wanna live like
I wanna live like a Cherokee
I wanna be like
I wanna be like
Be like the free Cherokee
