Lyrics for Boy from Tupelo
You don't love me, this I know Don't need a Bible to tell me so I hung around a little too long I was good, but now I'm gone Like the buffalo That boy from Tupelo Any way the wind can blow That's where I'm gonna go I'll be gone like a five and dime It'll be the perfect crime Just ask the boy from Tupelo He's the king and he ought to know The shoulder I've been leanin' on Is the coldest place I've ever known There's nothing left for me round here Looks like it's time to disappear Like the buffalo That boy from Tupelo The old wall down in Jericho Maybelle on the radio I'll be gone like a five and dime It'll be the perfect crime Just ask the boy from Tupelo He's the king and he ought to know You don't love me, this I know Don't need a Bible to tell me so But it's a shame and it's a sin Everything I could have been Your last chance Texaco Your sweetheart of the rodeo A Juliet to your Romeo The border you cross into Mexico I'll never understand why or how Oh but baby, it's too late now Just ask the boy from Tupelo He's the king and he ought to know
