Larkin Poe - 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'd engine 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 n roll
Sing it in the kitchen
And 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

Tupelo rest my soul
Take me to the river
I've been delivered
Into the hands that reach to hold
Tupelo rock n 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
Tupelo rock n 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
