Mark Knopfler - Back To Tupelo Lyrics
Around the time of 'clambake'Movie number twenty-fiveYou and the lying dutchmanAre still in overdriveYou're as strong as when you startedMississippi in your soulYou can still be marlon brandoAnd the king of rock and rollIt isn't just the recordsNo, you must have hollywoodThe songs alone are not enoughThat much is understoodYou'll soon be back in memphisMaybe then you'll know what to doThe storylines they're giving youAre just not ringing trueOh, it's a ways to goBack to TupeloWhen you're young and beautifulYour dreams are all idealsLater on it's not the sameLord, everything is realSixteen hundred miles of highwayRoll back to the truthAnd a song to give your motherIn your first recording boothAround the time of 'clambake'That old dream's still rolling onSometimes there'll be the feelingThings are going wrongThe morning star is fadingLord, the Mississippi's coldYou can still be marlon brandoAnd the king of rock and rollBut it's a ways to goBack to Tupelo
