Capo 1 (Recorded In F#)Intro: C-F-Bb-C-Dm-Bb-C-Dm
A hundred miles out of Little Rock, windshield full of rain
I-40 eastbound drivin while I pray,
Shes asleep in the backseat, Holdin tight to her teddy bear,
Shes got her daddys smile and her mommas hair
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word, keeps us comin back
Chorus:
Across the Mississippi, A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland, Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children, Where God sends his mercy rainin down
In the heart of Memphis, Where angels hang around
Instrumental: Bb-C-Dm-Bb-C-Dm
All the deals Ive made with God, The conversations that weve had
Tryin to accept things I could not understand
I wanna walk her down the aisle, While those church bells ring,
See her get the chance. To live all her dreams,
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us comin back
Chorus
Across the Mississippi, A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland, Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children, Where God sends his mercy rainin down
In the heart of Memphis, Where angels hang around
So sleep tight baby while these four wheels roll
Cause just beyond the clouds theres a ray of hope
To a place for children, Where God sends his mercy rainin down
In the heart of Memphis
