about

Tribute to a town in Mississippi I have grown to love and respect. Clarksdale is so close to my heart and a source of great musical inspiration. I hope this track does it justice.

lyrics

From Memphis to Clarksdale is a two hour ride
Every mile is worth it’s weight in gold
If you go down to the crossroads and face the wind
It will all unfold
Bessie Smith took her last breath here in the dark of the night
Sam cooks folks gave life here to a flame that burn so bright

These are the rocks that we stand on
As we stumble and fall
These are the rocks that we hang on
As we break down the walls

Willie Brown and Son house sat side by side
Downtown on a saturday night
John Lee and Muddy headed out for those bright Chicago lights.
If you’re ever passing through you’ll meet folks like you
Living the dream
Spare a thought for those who tried to find a better life
Away from those cotton fields

These are the rocks we stand on
As we stumble and fall
These are the rocks that we hang on
As we break down the walls
