Paroles de A Long Way From Tupelo
On a hot Sunday evening,I was drive in the country,
When I felt my left-front tire blow,
In the trunk I had a spare,
But the jack wasn't there,
On a desolate gravel road.
Just across the street
was a two-room shack
and a girl shelling peas on the porch
When she ran out to meet me in a white cotton dress,
All I could say was; 'Praise the Lord!'
Yeah, I was a long way from Topelo,
A long ways from Topelo
Yeah, I was stranded in a place that nobody knows
I was a long was from Topelo
She said; 'My mamma's not home
And we don't have a phone
But if there's anything I can do,
I'd be happy to pour you some cold iced tea
Because I think you're kind of cute'
We went inside and sat down on the couch
And that girl started up on me A long ways from Topelo
Yeah, I was stranded in a place that nobody knows
I was a long was from Topelo
Well, her mother showed up and saw me there
Said what in the world's going on
She answered; 'Mamma, don't worry,
He's a real nice man'
Who's broke down and ain't got a way home
Daddy gave me a ride,
I gave him $20 for his trouble and a tank of gas
It was a day I always remember
But if my wife ever asks
I'd say;
I was a long way from Topelo,
A long ways from Topelo
Yeah, I was stranded in a place that nobody knows
I was a long was from Topelo
