Memphis Rain

Still remember that crackle

That needed layin' down

Stain on 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

'Til my feet in Tennessee ground

Just like he told me

Never pray for change

That old Memphis rain

Now my nightmares, mama

Been keepin' me awake

Never knew what the blues could do to a boy

That was givin' everything it takes

Now the Cadillac's hummin'

And my heart starts pumpin'

And there ain't no doubt that there's no way out

From everything I ever wanted

The pills and the pain

Never pray for change

That old Memphis rain

And it's gold, I can't roll that it's 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 oughta be

Just like he told me

Never pray for change

That old Memphis rain
