myLot reputation of 98/100. candygurl24 (1037)2 years ago

Well, I've had no sleep since the night before last, which leaves me nothing to do but think. So I was laying there trying to see if I could catch a nap or something when this old country music video popped into my head....which then led me to get up and come here to find the answer! The description I am about to give may not be 100% accurate, but if you have seen this country music video, chances are you'll never forget it. It's old...probably 1980's or 90's..early 90's. I do remember it being a male group or male solo artist...male anyways..lol.

There are two little boys in the video, one african american (let's call him Jon), and the other caucasian (let's call him Joe). They become friends despite the fact that the Joe's father is in with the nasty KKK. They have to hide their friendship at all costs. Then one night the KKK goes to Jon's home and sets the house on fire. The parents make it out ok, but when Joe sees that Jon didn't make it out yet, he breaks from his father and runs inside the house to save Jon. Just after Jon gets into the house, the whole thing collapses. At the end of the video it shows Jon and Joe's mothers at their graves, which is where they finally put racism aside.

For some reason a title something along the lines of Blood Runs Red comes to mind...but I'm not coming up with anything by googling it besides heavy metal:S

I've been searching on and off for YEARS for this song....so I must say that the first person to help me find the correct song will definitely be getting best response! I'd give a million best responses to find this song again..lol

Thank you everyone!!

I'm sure the video you're asking about is cherokee highway by western flyer....it was a song that came out in 1995. You can google the song for the lyrics, I have yet to find the video. I was going to copy and paste the lyrics for you but I'm not at 500 yet, so I can't. If you happen to come across the video, let me know! I've checked you tube and myspace videos and have found it nowhere.

Here ya go!:)

PRELUDE (Jesus Loves The Little Children)

Mississippi, in '61, they
Watched his daddy die
Guided by the light of a burning cross
That lit the Delta sky
Kevin and Willie, 10 years old,
They were best of friends
The only way you could tell 'em apart
Was the color of their skin
"C'mon Willie!," Kevin screamed,
"Let's get out of here!" Willie's numb,
Can't even run, frozen there with fear
So Kevin takes off through the woods
Yelling "I'll be back for you!"
Running fast, out of breath, can't stop and rest
His daddy would know what to do
But rushing through the door
He sees the eyes of a man
His daddy's washing the blood out of a sheet
But it won't come off his hands

CHORUS:
And the blood still runs down Cherokee Highway
A senseless river filled with all they've shed
Just two dark sides to Cherokee Highway
But black or white, the blood still runs red

Now the fire is at the fuse
In a town that just won't learn
Word is out, "make the white man pay,"
Gonna watch his farm house burn
Midnight, the flames begin,
Kevin's daddy's the first to rise
So he grabs his gun and he grabs his wife,
But Kevin's still inside
From the shadows comes a boy with darker skin
Though they killed his daddy, gonna save his friend,
He runs through the door as the house falls in

CHORUS

Staning in the ashes, he sees what hate really is
Two little bodies, both burned black,
Can't tell which child is his

CHORUS
