127 Rose Avenue

[Verse 1] Somewhere in the cradle of the deep south Magnolias sway in the breeze To the lonesome sound of a Redbone Hound Howlin' at the moon and the trees There's a sad eyed boy with his guitar Cuttin' his teeth on the blues Wishin' on a fallin' star At 127 Rose Avenue The distant moan of a midnight train Comes blowin' through the night He dips his pen in tears and pain And he begins to write Bout a whippoorwill too blue to fly And the Indian he once knew Bout lost highways, and purple skies At 127 Rose Avenue [Chorus] Caretaker said as he shook his head "Son to you believe in Ghosts?" For a five dollar bill you can feel the chill That he felt long ago [Verse 2] So a I bought me a ticket at the front door Guess who was there inside I felt his presence through the whole tour God I swear, he was alive I saw the train, I felt the pain I heard him moaning the blues Twenty-nine years of memories At 127 Rose Avenue [Chorus] Caretaker said as he shook his head "Son to you believe in Ghosts?" For a five dollar bill you can feel the chill That he felt long ago [Outro] Another side eyed boy with his guitar Cutting his teeth on the blues Here I am wishing on a falling star At 127 Rose Avenue It ain't in Nashville It's not in Montgomery 127 Rose Avenue
