歌词
Woke up in Memphis today
Pulled on my blue suede shoes
Gonna' walk around this old town
Rediscover the home of the blues
Walked down to the Mighty Mississip'
I could see the paddle wheelers turn
Been singin' the blues my whole life
I know I got somethin' to learn
Mississippi Delta
Moonshine and barbeque
To hear the Gibson guitars
In the Beale Street bars
I always come back to you
Mississippi Delta
12 bars and the truth
Where Elvis is alive
The guitars cry
And every mother's son sings the blues
Walked up to the Lorraine
Paid respects to MLK
The more things change, the more they stay the same
We could sure use you here today
Walked down to the railyard
Listened
Listened to the trains roll by
Heard the boxcar blues on the avenue
And lift my voice to the sky
Mississippi Delta
Moonshine and barbeque
To hear the Gibson guitars
In the Beale Street bars
I always come back to you
Mississippi Delta
12 bars and the truth
Where Elvis is alive
The guitars cry
And every mother's son sings the blues
In Memphis
Their spirits wander free
I can feel BB King standin' right next to me
There's a Robert Johnson tune hangin' in the air
And Jerry Lee Lewis, he's, he's everywhere
Mississippi Delta
Moonshine and barbeque
To hear the Gibson guitars
In the Beale Street bars
I always come back to you
Mississippi Delta
12 bars and the truth
Where Elvis is alive
The guitars cry
And every mother's son sings the blues
Paid a visit to Graceland
Stood at the grave of The King
Knelt down close, listened real hard
Swear I could hear him sing...
Mississippi Delta
Moonshine and barbeque
To hear the Gibson guitars
In the Beale Street bars
I always come back to you
Mississippi Delta
12 bars and the truth
Where Elvis is alive
The guitars cry
And every mother's son sings the blues
Don't you know?
Every mother's son sings the blues
