Dan May - Lights Out In Tupelo lyrics

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 pa**ing 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 Ive taken more than I can stand Well 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 dont care anyhow It wont matter now CHORUS Lights out in Tupelo Packed up away I go Ive taken more than I can stand Well 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 Youre free But here, theyll never see The man that I could be CHORUS Lights out in Tupelo Packed up away I go Ive taken more than I can stand Well drive down through Birmingham South to Montgomery, man Folks there, they call it Alabam I call it the Promised Land
