(Emmylou Harris)
You don`t love me this I know
Don`t need a bible to tell me so
I hung around a little too long
I was good but now I`m gone
Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
Any way the wind can blow
That`s where I`m gonna go
I`ll be gone like a five and dime
It`ll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He`s the king and he oughta know
The shoulder I`ve been leanin on
Is the coldest place I`ve ever known
There`s nothin left for me round here
Looks like it`s time to disapear
Like the buffalo
That boy from Tupelo
The old wall down in jericho
Maybelle on the radio
I`ll be gone like the five and dime
It`ll be the perfect crime
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He`s the king and he oughta know
You don`t love me, this I know
Don`t need a bible to tell me so
It`s a shame and it`s a sin
Everything I coulda been to you
Your last chance Texaco
Your sweetheart of the rodeo
A juliet to your romeo
The border you cross into Nexico
I`ll never understand why or how
Oh but baby its too late now
Just ask the boy from Tupelo
He`s the king and he oughta know
