Mmmm ... that drive through Natchez Trace and then into Tupelo. I always "see" Elvis as a child in that town ... not the star he would become, but the child.

lyrics

Tupelo
(c) 2019 G. LaMonte

Siftin' through some dead man's life
Talkin' to his grievin' wife
Yard sale down in Tupelo
Took a couple things home

Shelled pecans, honeybees
Magnolia blossoms on the breeze
Natchez Trace, and oh, those trees
They run right up to the road

Everywhere I look I see the King is still a boy
I can hear his laughter here before I hear that voice
That voice that every mama knows
Liquid whiskey dreams and ramblin' rose
Sunday drive in Tupelo

AM it don't come in clear
FM ain't got a god damned thing I wanna hear
So I'll just listen to the music
Of my wheels on gravel road

Gospel song from some old shack
Just enough to take me back
I ain't been to church in years
Ain't no time now for me to go
It's time for me to go

Everywhere I look I see the King is still a boy
I can hear his laughter here before I hear that voice
That voice that every mama knows
Liquid whiskey dreams and ramblin' rose
Sunday drive in Tupelo

Siftin' through some dead man's life
Talkin' to his grievin' wife
Yard sale down in Tupelo
Took a couple things home

Mama Gina: lyrics, music
Two stellar musicians graced this recording with some very tasty electric guitar, and I am grateful to both of them for helping me more clearly express the nostalgia of this song. You should check them out - they are excellent musicians and songwriters!
