LilJack Feelings

Drippin sunshine on Beale Street gold Where the saxophone sleeps in its velvet mold LilJack's shadow paints the alley walls Rhythm like molasses when the summer crawls Muddy water whisper my name Turn the dial on that old soul flame Memphis got that slow burn shine You taste like sweet tea and turpentine LilJack’s rhythm in my spine This city’s love is drunk divine Porch swing creaks with barbecue dreams Neon baptizes midnight seams LilJack’s laugh in every crack Where the pavement hums its welcome back River breeze sings through screen doors Sticky fingers counting time no more Memphis got that slow burn shine You taste like sweet tea and turpentine LilJack’s rhythm in my spine This city’s love is drunk divine Catfish frying in the delta dark Footsteps echo like a blues remark Memphis don’t let go LilJack’s still humming low
