Still remember that crackle that needed laying down Stain of the glass in the chapel as we laid him in the ground And feet start shufflin' Honey mine start runnin' Yeah I run that Mississippi till my feet in Tennessee ground Just like he told me
Never pray for change That old Memphis rain
Now my nightmares Been keeping me awake Never knew what the blues could do to a boy that was giving everything it takes Now the Cadillac's hummin' and my heart starts bumbin' And there ain't no doubt that there's no way out from everything I've ever wanted The pills and the pain
Never pray for change That od Memphis rain
And its gold I can't roll that its mine Don't mistake what it takes to lose sight of the line Cause in time you will find if you do Well they burned down Big Hill And they marched away I can still see that old A-Frame kickin' back off of that big lake I still go there To the middle of nowhere It's a lifetime meant to me Gotta build it up to what it otta' be Just like he told me
