Tupelo


30,000 miles rolling on the train
The King’s a calling get me out of the grave
The wait is worthwhile and with a touch of grace
He smiles and waves to the big parade

Tickets in their hands this Americana band
Devils and angels take the throne
Golden strings and a microphone
Call in the coyotes I’m comin’ home

I’m going back Tupelo

Jimmy’s in the band bangin’ with his hands
I’m on my knees like I’m praising god
Mississippi man traveling the land
You know my heart is going to run roughshod

Nevermore a ghost I’m forever for the show
One last chance to go down crossroads
He’ll I’ve got to try it’s the devil in disguise
Soon as the king starts to moan
