lights out in tupelo
© 2005 dan may and steve patti
verse 1
crossing mississippi
tossing my self-pity
lost and found this life again
did hard time in jackson
ten long years in p-ssing
making me a better man
but here they only see
what i used to be
chorus
lights out in tupelo
packed up away i go
i’ve taken more than i can stand
we’ll drive down through birmingham
south to montgomery, man
folks there, they call it alabam
i call it the promised land
verse 2
this country sure looks pretty
far outside the city
so much like from where i came
where they know my record
know my past is checkered
some things never seem to change
i don’t care anyhow
it won’t matter now
chorus
lights out in tupelo
packed up away i go
i’ve taken more than i can stand
we’ll drive down through birmingham
south to montgomery, man
folks there, they call it alabam
i call it the promised land
bridge
where the catfish run
in the morning sun
and the songbirds all call out to me
“you’re free”
but here, they’ll never see
the man that i could be
chorus
lights out in tupelo
packed up away i go
i’ve taken more than i can stand
we’ll drive down through birmingham
south to montgomery, man
folks there, they call it alabam
i call it the promised land
