<br />
Around the time of 'clambake'<br />
Movie number twenty-five<br />
You and the lying dutchman<br />
Are still in overdrive<br />
You're as strong as when you started<br />
Mississippi in your soul<br />
You can still be marlon brando<br />
And the king of rock and roll<br />
<br />
It isn't just the records<br />
No, you must have hollywood<br />
The songs alone are not enough<br />
That much is understood<br />
You'll soon be back in memphis<br />
Maybe then you'll know what to do<br />
The storylines they're giving you<br />
Are just not ringing true<br />
<br />
Oh, it's a ways to go<br />
Back to tupelo<br />
Oh, it's a ways to go<br />
Back to tupelo<br />
<br />
When you're young and beautiful<br />
Your dreams are all ideals<br />
Later on it's not the same<br />
Lord, everything is real<br />
Sixteen hundred miles of highway<br />
Roll back to the truth<br />
And a song to give your mother<br />
In your first recording booth<br />
<br />
Around the time of 'clambake'<br />
That old dream's still rolling on<br />
Sometimes there'll be the feeling<br />
Things are going wrong<br />
The morning star is fading<br />
Lord, the mississippi's cold<br />
You can still be marlon brando<br />
And the king of rock and roll<br />
<br />
But it's a ways to go<br />
Back to tupelo<br />
Oh, it's a ways to go<br />
Back to tupelo
