[Verse 1]
I remember you back in nineteen fifty six
You had all the moves
And you knew all the tricks
You left all the ladies in a hell of a fix
When your voice took wings
Then you'd shake around and
Oh, how you'd sing
Just an old boy from Memphis
With a big diamond ring
A country girl's prayer
And a city girl's dream, hail the king
[Chorus]
But it's all right now
Keep on singing loud
It's all right now
Heaven should be proud
[Verse 2]
The fifties left town on a crowded dance floor
The sixties came in with a bang and a roar
The world heard a knock
It was Janis at the door, they let her in
And when it seemed
This whole world was falling apart
The houselights would fall
And the music would start
She'd be giving us all a piece of her heart
Once again
[Chorus]
[Verse 3]
It was October in St. Louis town
When we heard that the Free Bird had fell to the ground
And we all said a prayer
Before we went down to play
And Ronnie, my buddy
Above all the rest
I miss you the most
And I loved you the best
And now that you're gone
I thank God I was blessed
Just to know you
[Chorus]
