Cup of coffee cost a nickel
Newspaper sold for a dime
A dollar bought a pack of smokes
And a bottle of mad dog wine
We go back
When the blues was everywhere
We go back
Fightin' hard to get our share
Times were bad, what a time we had
We go back, way, way back
On a balcony in Memphis
April 1968
I never will forget
What happened on that date
We go back
When the blues was everywhere
We go back
Fightin' to get our share
Timеs were bad, but what a time wе had
We go back, way, way, way back
I can see it in my mind
I can still hear it in my ears
The crying and the dying
The hell it took to get us here
We go back
When the blues was everywhere
We go back, go back, go back
Fightin' to get our share
Times were bad, but what a time we had
We go back
We go back
We go way, way back
I wanna go back to home town
Where my grandmother was
Living in my good of home
Right on Highway 61
We had such a hard time
Oh, but we, we made it, we made it
We have faith and grace
We believed we could make it
And we did
Back in the day
I remember when, oh yeah
Buddy, do you remember? (Mmm)
We go back
