I remember you back in nineteen-fifty-six |
|
You had all the moves and you knew all the tricks |
|
You left all the ladies in a hell of a fix |
|
When your voice took wings |
|
Then you'd shake around and oh, how'd you sing |
|
Just an old boy from |
|
Memphis with a big diamond ring |
|
A country girl's prayer and a city girls dream, hail the |
|
KingBut it's alright now, keep on singin' loud |
|
It's alright now, heaven should be proud |
|
The fifties left town on a crowded dance floor |
|
The sixties came in with a bang and a roar |
|
The world heard a knock |
|
It was Janis at the door, they let her in |
|
And when it seemed this whole world was falling apart |
|
The houselights would fall and the music would start |
|
She'd be givin' us all the little piece of her heart once again |
|
But it's alright now, keep on singin' loud |
|
It's alright now, heaven should be proud |
|
It was October in |
|
St. Louis town |
|
When we heard that the |
|
Free Bird had fell to the ground |
|
We all said a prayer before we went down to play |
|
And Ronnie, my buddy, above all the rest |
|
I miss you the most and |
|
I loved you the best |
|
And now that you're gone |
|
I thank God |
|
I was blessed just to know you |
|
But it's alright now, keep on singin' loud |
|
It's alright now, heaven should be proud |
