Girl From Tupelo

(album: Linda On My Mind - 1975)

From Baltimore to LA by way of Mexico
Trying to find the girl I met one night in Tupelo
Not far enough to ride inside so I have to ride the blinds
Looking for a woman Lord that's heavy on my mind.

From Chicago to Phoenix, Lord, I try to understand
How a woman of the world can rob the soul of a man
From the backside of Dallas to the streets of El Paso
Finds me looking for the girl I met in Tupelo.

As my mind races back to the night in Tupelo
As she laid her body close to mine
While the night changed to day with the dawn she slipped away
And after miles and miles and sleepless nights she's still heavy on my mind.

From Chicago to Phoenix, Lord, I try to understand
How a woman of the world can rob the soul of a man
From the backside of Dallas to the streets of El Paso
Finds me looking for the girl I met in Tupelo...
