Memphis in Winter by Michael Chapman
Album : 50
Genre : Alternative, Folk
Released : 2017
We’re past the end of nowhere
All aling the worn-out plain
Where the devil lies awaiting
And it gets too dark to rain
Never go into the darkness
Never ever leave my sight
There’s just too many crazies
And you can die just beyond the light
They say that Jesus saves
But I see none of that down here
I just see people with the hunger
I see people with the fear
And I can see the jungle growing
Hobos huddled in the steam
Are they just some hungry mouths to feed
Or the bitter end of the dream?
Where the river comes a-rolling
Where the levee tends to break
Where to walk the streets at night
Is not a risk that you woukd take
Cause it’s cold, cold down on the river
But you can see the Memphis Belle
This ain’t no scene from heaven
This could be seen as hell.
