Tears Of Blue To Gold - Larkin Poe

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
