Tunica Motel |
| 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 |
