Tupelo Lyrics

It was the people and the land,

There were no rules everyone understands

When a family was family with a plan

To live together off of their land

It hasnÂ't been that long ago,

A good time was had at the picture show

Every day the farmers would go

To a local cafe called Uncle JoeÂ's

ThatÂ's where all of the news was heard,

You could recap a week in a couple words

ThatÂ's the way things go down in Tupelo, Tupelo,

Down in Tupelo, x4

Nineteen hundred and thirty nine,

Tornado tore this poor town alive

Left many people without a home

And they pulled together, for no oneÂ's alone

Man is weak, many is strong,

Friends are friends back home

ThatÂ's the way things go down in Tupelo, Tupelo,

Down in Tupelo, x4

As a child I couldnÂ't wait to get out of this town in the sleepy South

I left only to find out that I love the people and the music and the places

Like in Memphis, Tennessee, they got the soul sound,

In Austin Texas they got the Western swing,

Down in New Orleans they got everything

Did you know Â'bout the one they call the King came from Tupelo
