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
