Tunica Motel Lyrics

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 lay out on a houseboat

 Until my hide turns 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 anybody left who even knows the tale

 Gimme the blues at the Tunica Motel
