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 passing
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


Mirror lyrics:

I call it the Promised Land
Folks there, they call it Alabam
South to Montgomery, man
We?ll drive down through Birmingham
I?ve taken more than I can stand
Packed up away I go
Lights out in Tupelo
CHORUS

The man that I could be
But here, they?ll never see

?You?re free?
And the songbirds all call out to me
In the morning sun
Where the catfish run

BRIDGE

I call it the Promised Land
Folks there, they call it Alabam
South to Montgomery, man
We?ll drive down through Birmingham
I?ve taken more than I can stand
Packed up away I go
Lights out in Tupelo
CHORUS

It won?t matter now
I don?t care anyhow
Some things never seem to change
Know my past is checkered
Where they know my record
So much like from where I came
Far outside the city
This country sure looks pretty

I call it the Promised Land
Folks there, they call it Alabam

We?ll drive down through Birmingham
I?ve taken more than I can stand
Packed up away I go
Lights out in Tupelo
CHORUS

What I used to be
But here they only see

Making me a better man
Ten long years in passing
Did hard time in Jackson
Lost and found this life again
Tossing my self-pity
Crossing Mississippi
