Mulberry Road

A little piece of Heaven Just like in my dreams Just as I remembered In shades of blue and green Blue sky, honeysuckle summer Green green grass of home Hurley Mississippi Down Mulberry Road Feelings flooding in Overtaking me Mulberry Road Walking a memory Blackbirds on the feeders Sparrows on the ground Bluebirds in the treetops Robins all around Mama singing on the porch swing Figuring up the bills Daddy planting fruit trees Out along the field The laughter of children Carries on the breeze Mulberry Road Walking a memory I'm gonna take the grand tour I've got nothing but time Past cherries, blueberries, mulberries Scuppernongs and muscadimes The house is full of company Playing dominoes Mama's in the kitchen Fixing something good you know All of these ghosts Sweetly haunting me Mulberry Road Walking a memory Daddy picks the dobro Gonna make it cry Plays "You Are My Sunshine" Make you wipe your eyes Roger picking guitar Me and Ronnie join right in Linda and Theresa Sing "I Ride and Old Paint" Mama sings "Amazing Grace" "Softly and Tenderly" I'm overcome Mulberry Road Walking a memory Copyright 2016
