Walking Into Clarksdale Lyrics
When I was born I was runningAs my feet hit the groundBefore I could walk I was hummingAn old railroad soundThings didn’t get much betterWhen by the age of fiveThey found me walking into clarksdaleTrying to keep my friends aliveNo time for celebrationThere was no known cureSeems I was born and raisedIn the wrong killing floorAnd my loved ones gathered round seeIf the experiment had workedI was misplaced, out of timePriveleged and worseOh, mama pleaseDon’t cry for meTears to the riverTears to be freeNow I see twelve white horsesWalking in a lineMoving east across the metalBridge on highway 49And standing in the shadowsOf a burnt out motelThe king of commerce mississippi waitedWith his hound from hell, ohA shiny noon riverboat takingIncome from the poorIt’s floating by the levee inAn artificial poolThere’s a six mile tailbackBack on junction 304A stranger at the crossroadsBelieve I’ve seen his face beforeOh,Don’t cry for meTears fill the riverTears to be freeOh, I’m sad to be leavingThe sun is going down and I really got to go nowI’m sad to be leavingThe sun’s going down and I really got to go nowReally got to go nowI gotta goI’ve got to moveI’ve got to move, yeah, ahI’m sad to be leavingSun’s going down and I really got to go nowI’m sad to be leavingThe sun’s going down and I really got to go now, oh hoo hoo hooI’m sad to be leavingSun’s going down and I really got to go nowI’m sad to be leavingThe sun’s going down and I really got to go nowReally got to go now, yeahOh, gotta go now, yesYes, gotta go nowYeah
