Go here to hear this new one!
Impossible Beauty
Hello Hello Mr. So and So
Can I take you for a ride?
down the roads we're all still living
a forgotten world of blacks and whites
An ignored impossible beauty
full of healing possibilites
more stories more poems more music
and more Kudzu than the eye can see
Take you down to Billy Rays Farm
Can I take you for a ride?
down the roads we're all still living
a forgotten world of blacks and whites
An ignored impossible beauty
full of healing possibilites
more stories more poems more music
and more Kudzu than the eye can see
Take you down to Billy Rays Farm
Maybe glimpse Mr. Larry Brown's soul
Take you down to the Juke Joint rockin
Where Elvis learned to rock and roll
Take you down to Faulkner's "Mansion"
Where Shelby Foote once spent the night
Come on down to the Catfish frying
Where Walker's Moviegoer feels alright
Take you down to the Juke Joint rockin
Where Elvis learned to rock and roll
Take you down to Faulkner's "Mansion"
Where Shelby Foote once spent the night
Come on down to the Catfish frying
Where Walker's Moviegoer feels alright
we'll drive on down to Tennessee WIlliams
His Sun burned the old tin roof
Drive on down to Yazoo City
Where Jerry Clower is laughing proof
Come on down to Eudora Welty
see her driving round this Jackson town
92 and full of childlike wonder
wish Ms Eudora was still around..
Take you down to Junior Kimbrough,
Asie Payton B.B. King
We'll take HWY 61 and revisit
this haunting beauty holding everything
Bridge
If this red clay soil could sing
it'd be a frightening hopeful thing
fools politicians preachers and poets
fools politicians preachers and poets
the blood of sinners saints and slaves
Civil war and civil strife
old wounds still hold this mystical place
Like a mother holds a freakish childand dare not behold it's tepid face
Civil war and civil strife
old wounds still hold this mystical place
Like a mother holds a freakish childand dare not behold it's tepid face
