Memphis Rain - Parker McCollum

Still remember that crackle that needed laying down

Stain of the glass in the chapel as we laid him in the ground

And feet start shufflin'

Honey mine start runnin'

Yeah I run that Mississippi till my feet in Tennessee ground

Just like he told me

Never pray for change

That old Memphis rain

Now my nightmares

Been keeping me awake

Never knew what the blues could do to a boy that was giving everything it takes

Now the Cadillac’s hummin' and my heart starts bumbin'

And there ain’t no doubt that there’s no way out from everything I’ve ever

wanted

The pills and the pain

Never pray for change

That od Memphis rain

And its gold

I can’t roll that its mine

Don’t mistake what it takes to lose sight of the line

Cause in time you will find if you do

Well they burned down Big Hill

And they marched away

I can still see that old A-Frame kickin' back off of that big lake

I still go there

To the middle of nowhere

It’s a lifetime meant to me

Gotta build it up to what it otta' be

Just like he told me

Never pray for change

That old Memphis rain
