Porch Swing In Tupelo Lyrics - Peachtree Road - Elton John

There's a porch swing in Tupelo 

In the shade of the south 

Where the sweet honey drips off that old hush-yo'-mouth 

It's a slow road on down 

That old Natchez Trace 

Through Alabama cotton fields to a state of grace 

It's a crisp golden Autumn 

On the Tennessee line 

Rolling down to Mississippi like you headed back in time 

Town's closed on Sunday 

Everybody's in church 

It's empty as the moon this place here on earth

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

 

And this place don't change 

Some places move slow 

I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo 

I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze 

Ghosts of the old south are all around me 

Yea swing high, yea swing low 

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo 

 

His mama must have loved him 

That truck drivin' boy 

With the grease monkey look and the rock 'n roll voice 

Well I was just thinkin' 'bout him 

'Cause I guess he sat here 

Singing all praise to God through poverty's tears 

 

And this place don't change 

Some places move slow 

I'm just rocking myself on this porch swing in Tupelo 

I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze 

Ghosts of the old south are all around me 

Yea swing high, yea swing low 

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo 

 

(Instrumental) 

 

And this place don't change 

Some places move slow 

I'm just rocking' myself on this porch swing in Tupelo 

I got nothing to do 'cept hang in the breeze 

Ghosts of the old south are all around me 

Yea swing high, yea swing low 

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo 

 

And this place don't change 

Some places move slow 

I'm just rocking' myself on this porch swing in Tupelo 

I got nothing to do but hang in the breeze 

The ghosts of the old south all around me 

Yea swing high, yea swing low 

On this porch swing in Tupelo 

 

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo 

Here on this porch swing in Tupelo
