Clay Crosse - Memphis lyrics
The Mississippi River, he's a friend of mine And the people livin' in this town, they can be so fine But there's a big line runnin' straight down old Union Avenue And it breaks that southern lady's heart in two Now there's an old black man sittin' out front of a shotgun house And on the other side of town there's a rich man sittin' on a velvet couch Well nobody forgets what happened thirty years ago But we gotta forgive the past and that's for sure Well it should be so plain to see That it comes down to you and me And if we all just come together If we all just take a stand We could heal the hurtin' and the broken-hearted people Everybody understand We gotta all just come together Ridini down Beale Street, pop tunes on my radio Well I love this Delta mama, it's all I know Well you know I have a dream about black and white and a land of grace But it's gonna take more than a dream to fix this place You know it's hard as it can be To turn the tide of history We all went to Sunday school And everybody learned the Golden Rule Read about the writing on the wall Learned how Joseph had a nice coat Noah had a big boat But then they said sweet Jesus loves us all |
