Tears Of Blue To Gold

Well, I lived next door to royalty A skinny little kid just like me We'd go hunt down the honeybees Back in the days gone by His daddy had a car that would go sometimes That engine'd roar, he'd let us ride Barbed wire fences flying far behind Back in the days gone by Tupelo, rest my soul Take me to the river I've been delivered Into the hands that reach to hold Tupelo rock and roll Sing it in the kitchen Pass the ammunition Turn all your tears of blue to gold I was a Pepsi Cola factory man Made my living with my own two hands That skinny kid moved up to Graceland Back in the days gone by We slept beneath our hopes and wishes Forty-two years, me and the missus My memories are my greatest riches From back in the days gone by Oh, Tupelo, rest my soul Take me to the river I've been delivered Into the hands that reach to hold Tupelo rock and roll Sing it in the kitchen And pass the ammunition Turn all your tears of blue to gold Time moves on like a melody And I can hear those memories sing Time moves on like a melody And I can hear those memories sing Time moves on like a melody And I can hear those memories sing Time moves on like a melody And I can hear those memories sing Tupelo, rest my soul Take me to the river I've been delivered Into the hands that reach to hold Oh, Tupelo rock and roll Sing it in the kitchen And pass the ammunition Turn all your tears of blue to gold Turn all your tears of blue to gold Turn all your tears of blue to gold
