BILOXI FLATTOP From the 2004 release "Over Cloud Nine" |
|
Words and music by Karen Brooks
Well that old Mississippi Delta boy
Sure makes that old Biloxi flattop sing
You can hear the rhythm of the rhyme
Through the Beal street alleys echoing
Heavy hearts that fill the air
Gotta know there's something up down there
I swear, I saw the lights of Memphis
Flyin' high in their pointed shoes
Bar flies dancin' 'round the neon blues
Every day life brings you to your knees
A guitar man pick it up in a breeze
Misery without a care
Gotta know something's up down there
I swear, I saw the lights of Memphis
