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

Anyway 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 oughta know

The shoulder I've been leanin' on

Is the coldest place I've ever known

There's nothin' 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 the Five and Dime

It'll be the perfect crime

Just ask the boy from Tupelo

He's the king and he oughta 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've been to you

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 oughta know
