[00:00:00] On A Corner In Memphis (Album Version) - Todd Agnew

[00:00:02] Written by：Todd Agnew

[00:00:19] Saturday on Beale St.

[00:00:22] With the drunk and the searching

[00:00:25] I hear an old man playing guitar

[00:00:30] I can't make out what he's saying

[00:00:33] But I can tell you that he's suffered

[00:00:37] That he means every word from the bottom

[00:00:40] Of what's left of his heart tonight

[00:00:55] A few hours later I slip into church

[00:01:00] Singing the songs about Saving Grace

[00:01:06] One guy's nodding off and another hates to be here

[00:01:12] And we all mouth the words to save face

[00:01:18] It's 11:15 on Sunday morning and I wish I was

[00:01:32] On a corner in Memphis listening to the old man

[00:01:38] Singing out his sorrows and laying down his pride

[00:01:44] He's telling me his story or at least his side

[00:01:50] With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:01:58] 'Cause we are all broken here

[00:02:04] And we're all ashamed

[00:02:10] I couldn't fool you if I wanted to

[00:02:17] Our stories are too much the same

[00:02:23] And what about this Jesus

[00:02:28] They say he drank with the poor and the blind and the lame

[00:02:36] Do you think he'd like the songs that we sing

[00:02:42] Or would he feel the same as I do

[00:02:50] What if Sunday School was on Saturday night

[00:02:58] On a corner in Memphis listening to the old man

[00:03:04] Singing out his sorrows and laying down his pride

[00:03:10] He's telling me his story or at least his side

[00:03:16] With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:03:22] On a corner in Memphis

[00:03:48] What if their heart-breaking cries of pain

[00:03:53] Are the first hymns of tomorrow's saints

[00:04:01] On a corner in Memphis we're singing with the old man

[00:04:07] Crying for his sorrows and laying down our pride

[00:04:13] He's telling us our story or at least his side

[00:04:19] With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:04:24] On a corner in Memphis

[00:04:31] We're singing out our sorrows

[00:04:37] He's telling us his story

[00:04:43] With no need to pretend and nowhere to hide

[00:04:51] On a corner in Memphis
