lyrics
I was heading down to Alabama to see a friend
I was thinkin’ bout all that was and not all that is
I was making pretty good time
Thought I’d stop and cop a cup of joe
When I saw the roadside sign saying welcome to Tupelo
I hit a little bump of speed and hit a speed bump on the Trace They only let you run 55 inside that place
Where the long, clear tail of a golden mare whips sunlight side to side Red-tail hawk squawking high atop a yellow pine
Came up on a spot where a hundred trees were down
A storm came through, I heard em talking bout that in town
About a daddy battening down the hatches but the Natchez hatched another plan
Death, oh death, why can you tell it better than I can
I saw the burying grounds of an early tribe of rambling man
Now that’s the kind of freedom I don’t guess I’ll ever understand Everybody around here knows a lady with that native look to her eye Every time she sees you, man she leaves you something good behind
I pulled off for a spot of 87 down around Cherokee
An old man buying noon booze took a long look at me
I kicked a kid sock by the dumpster, the Norfolk Southern sang a baritone German Shepherd running like water down an access road
I took a left on Alabama and all the rest were right
I pulled my hair flat-back in the mirror till it looked alright
I opened up the front door, he said, “You’re a little bit late, ya know,”
I said I know well I took a wrong turn down to Tupelo

Entire album is excellent. As is the rest of the catalog. Go back to 1970...take the Dead and Floyd and roll them up. Yet completely different.
Just plain old GOOD MUSIC. Ed Fransko
