Tunica Motel - 2006 Remastered Version
Monday looked like a downer
Tuesday looked like rain
A bad altitude
And I knew I needed a change
Head out on the highway
Cruising way down south
I knew a little place
Where I might could work it all out
I'm so tired of fighting with myself
Gonna spend a little time at the Tunica Motel
Just outside of Memphis, Highway 61
Sleepy little town down by the Mississippi river
I'm gonna layout on a houseboat
Until my hide turn brown
Ain't gonna move 'till the evening sun goes down
Fried chicken to go
And they got live bait for sale
Anything you need at the Tunica motel
I find myself at midnight
Moving to the back porch blues
The guitar cries, telling me about the hard times
Something moves in the shadows
Giving me a little chill
I thought I saw Robert Johnson
Walking out across the field
There ain't hardly nobody
Left who even knows the tale
Gimme the blues at the Tunica motel.
