Porch Swing In Tupelo

Porch Swing In Tupelo
Elton John
Theres a porch swing in Tupelo
In the shade of the south
Where the sweet honey drips off
that old hush-yo-mouth
Its a slow road on down
That old Natchez Trace
Through Alabama cotton fields to a state of grace
Its a crisp golden Autumn
On the Tennessee line
Rolling down to Mississippi like
you headed back in time
Towns closed on Sunday
Everybodys in church
Its empty as the moon this place here on earth
And this place dont change
Some places move slow
Im just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do cept hang in the breeze
Ghosts of the old south are all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
His mama must have loved him
That truck drivin boy
With the grease monkey look
and the rock n roll voice
Well I was just thinkin bout him
Cause I guess he sat here
Singing all praise to God
through povertys tears
And this place dont change
Some places move slow
Im just rocking myself
on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do cept hang in the breeze
Ghosts of the old south are all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
And this place dont change
Some places move slow
Im just rocking myself
on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do cept hang in the breeze
Ghosts of the old south are all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
And this place dont change
Some places move slow
Im just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo
I got nothing to do cept hang in the breeze
Ghosts of the old south are all around me
Yea swing high, yea swing low
On this porch swing in Tupelo
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
