A hundred miles out of Little Rock
Windshield full of rain
I-40 eastbound drivinâ while I pray
Sheâs asleep in the backseat
Holdinâ tight to her teddy bear
Sheâs got her daddyâs smile and her mommaâs hair
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us cominâ back
Across the Mississippi
A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland
Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children
Where God sends his mercy raininâ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
All the deals Iâve made with God
The conversations that weâve had
Tryinâ to accept things I could not understand
I wanna walk her down the aisle
While those church bells ring
See her get the chance to live all her dreams
But one word knocked our lives off track
Just one word keeps us cominâ back
Across the Mississippi
A mile or two from Beale Street
Not too far from Graceland
Where the king of rock and roll sleeps
To a place for children
Where God sends his mercy raininâ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
So sleep tight, baby
While these four wheels roll
âCause just beyond the clouds
Thereâs a ray of hope
Thereâs a place for children
Where God sends his mercy raininâ down
In the heart of Memphis
Where angels hang around
