Clay Crosse - Memphis Lyrics

Memphis LyricsThe Mississippi River
He's a friend of mine
And the people livin' in this town
They can be so fine
There's a big line runnin' straight down
Old Union Avenue
And it breaks that southern lady's
Heart in two

Now there's an old black man
Sittin' out front of a shotgun house
And on the other side of town
There's a rich man sittin' on a velvet couch
Well, nobody forgets
What happened thirty years ago
But we gotta forgive the past
And that's for sure

Well, it should be so plain to see
That it comes down to you and me

And if we all just come together
(Everybody come together)
If we all just take a stand
(Everybody take a stand)
We could heal the hurtin'
And the brokenhearted people
Everybody understand
We gotta all just come together

Ridin' down Beale Street
Pop tunes on my radio
Well, I love this Delta mama
It's all I know
Well, you know I have a dream
About black and white and a state of grace
But it's gonna take more
Than a dream to fix this place

You know it's hard as it can be
To turn the tide of history

But if we all just come together
(Everybody come together)
If we all just take a stand
(Everybody take a stand)
We could heal the hurtin'
And the brokenhearted people
Everybody understand, yeah

Well, if we all just come together
(Everybody come together)
If we all just take a stand, oh...
(Everybody take a stand)
We could heal the hurtin'
And the brokenhearted people
Everybody understand, yeah
We all went to Sunday school
And everybody learned the Golden Rule
Read about the writing on the wall
Learned how Joseph had a nice coat
Noah had a big boat
But then they said sweet Jesus loves us all
And I believe

If we all just come together, oh...
(Everybody, everybody come together)
If we all just take a stand, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh...
(Everybody take somebody by the hand)
We could heal the hurtin'
And the brokenhearted people
And everybody understand now

Well, if we all just come together
(Everybody, everybody come together)
Well, if we all just take a stand, yeah, yeah, now
(Everybody take somebody by the hand)
We could heal the hurtin'
And the brokenhearted people
All across this land
(Everybody understand)
We gotta all just come together
Everybody understand
Yeah

The Mississippi River
He's a friend of mine
And the people livin' in this town
They can be so fine

Reach out your hand to a brother
Reach out your hand to a sister
Reach out your hand to a brother
Reach out your hand to a sister
