Tupelo

Someone told him about the gambler
Someone told him how the money flow
Someone told him about the midnight creeper
Someone told him about Tupelo

Someone told him about the women
Someone told him about the things they know
I bet no one ever told him
About the devil down in Tupelo

Tupelo
Tupelo
I ain't goin' down there no mo'
Tupelo
Tupelo
I ain't goin' down to Tupelo

Someone told him about the cocaine
Someone told him about the powdered snow
Someone told him you could drink fine liquor
Find a friend down in tupelo

Someone told him about the bright lights
Someone told him about the cheap peep show
Bet nobody ever told him
About the hard times down in Tupelo

Tupelo
Tupelo
I ain't goin' down there no mo'
Tupelo
Tupelo
I ain't goin' down to Tupelo

It ain't fair
It ain't fair
You can moan all you like
But the devil don't care
You can runaway
Runaway but the devil knows you'll be back someday

It ain't none of my business
Son I hate to see you fall so low
I'm only tryin' to give fair warnin'
About the devil down in Tupelo

Tupelo
Tupelo
I ain't goin' down there no mo'
Tupelo
Tupelo
I ain't goin' down to Tupelo
