Back to Tupelo
Lyricist:Mark Knopfler
Around the time of Clambake Movie number twenty-five You and the lying Dutchman Are still in overdrive
You're as strong as when you started Mississippi in your soul You can still be Marlon Brando And the King of rock and roll
It isn't just the records No, you must have Hollywood The songs alone are not enough That much is understood
You'll soon be back in Memphis Maybe then you'll know what to do Storylines they're giving you Are just not ringing true
Oh, it's a ways to go Back to Tupelo It's a ways to go Back to Tupelo
Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com When you're young and beautiful Your dreams are all ideals Later on it's not the same Lord, everything is real
Sixteen hundred miles of highway Roll back to the truth And a song to give your mother In your first recording booth
And around the time of Clambake That old dream's still rolling on Sometimes there'll be the feeling Things are going wrong
Morning star is fading Lord, Mississippi's cold And you can still be Marlon Brando And the King of rock and roll
But it's a ways to go Back to Tupelo It's a ways to go Back to Tupelo
