Generate meaning
1
Somewhere in the cradle of the deep south
2
Magnolias sway in the breeze
3
To the lonesome sound of a Red Boned Hound,
4
Howlin' at the moon and the trees.
5
There's a sad eyed boy, with his guitar,
6
Cuttin' his teeth on the blues.
7
Wishin' on a falling star, at 127 Rose Avenue
8
The distant moan of a midnight train,
9
Comes blowin' through the night.
10
He dips his pen in tears and pain,
11
And he begins to write.
12
Bout a whippoorwill too blue to fly,
13
And the Indian he once knew.
14
Bout lost highways, and purple skies,
15
At 127 Rose Avenue.
16
[Chorus]
17
Caretaker said as he shook his head,
18
"Son to you believe in Ghosts?
19
For a five dollar bill you can feel the chill
20
That he felt long ago."
21
So a I bought me a ticket at the front door,
22
Guess who was there inside.
23
I felt his presence through the whole tour,
24
God I swear, he was alive.
25
I saw the train, I felt the pain,
26
I heard him moanin' the blues.
27
Twenty-nine years of memories,
28
At 127 Rose Avenue.
29
[Chorus]
30
Another side eyed boy with his guitar,
31
Cuttin' his teeth on the blues.
32
Here I am wishin' on a falling star,
33
At 127 Rose Avenue
34
It ain't in Nashville
35
It's not in Montgomery
