Paul Thorn Lyrics
A Long Way From Tupelo Lyrics
On a hot Sunday evening,
I was drive in the country,
When I felt my left-front tire blow,
In the trunk I had a spare,
But the jack wasn�t there,
On a desolate gravel road.
Just across the street
was a two-room shack
and a girl shelling peas on the porch
When she ran out to meet me in a white cotton dress,
All I could say was; �Praise the Lord!�
Yeah, I was a long way from Topelo,
A long ways from Topelo
Yeah, I was stranded in a place that nobody knows
I was a long was from Topelo
She said; �My mamma�s not home
And we don�t have a phone
But if there�s anything I can do,
I�d be happy to pour you some cold iced tea
Because I think you�re kind of cute�
We went inside and sat down on the couch
And that girl started up on me
And just like Adam and that Garden of Eden,
She showed me that apple and I got weak
I was a long way from Topelo,
A long ways from Topelo
Yeah, I was stranded in a place that nobody knows
I was a long was from Topelo
Well, her mother showed up and saw me there
Said what in the world�s going on
She answered; �Mamma, don�t worry,
He�s a real nice man�
Who�s broke down and ain�t got a way home
Daddy gave me a ride,
I gave him $20 for his trouble and a tank of gas
It was a day I always remember
But if my wife ever asks
I�d say;
I was a long way from Topelo,
A long ways from Topelo
Yeah, I was stranded in a place that nobody knows
I was a long was from Topelo
