[00:00.84]I had a few more questions
[00:05.04]I never knew to ask
[00:08.70]You were feeling downhearted
[00:10.62]The last time we parted
[00:16.17]With a shock of white hair
[00:19.95]Life has changed a lot you know
[00:23.22]And I'm kind of scared of that
[00:27.78]It bottoms out in seconds flat
[00:35.28]You said you had a good friend
[00:38.76]He died so needlessly
[00:42.81]Knocked over by a garbage truck
[00:46.02]They threw him down
[00:47.28]Then they picked him up
[00:50.10]And your son was back home again
[00:53.58]Your little boy and his children
[00:57.78]He's fighting off a mean disease
[01:01.53]That's killing off his faculties
[01:06.48]Tell me a little joke
[01:10.14]Let's play the dozens
[01:14.49]Say something about my mama
[01:17.07]In a veiled quadrille round
[01:21.96]I'm just a white girl from a segregated town
[01:29.34]And I'm looking for some answers
[01:34.50]That I haven't found
[01:41.31]I remember Memphis
[01:44.19]Like it was yesterday
[01:47.94]And a Ford station wagon
[01:51.39]So full of us it was dragging
[01:55.35]With your books in our grasping hands
[01:58.89]We heard you speak
[02:00.42]We made our plans
[02:03.15]To hoist the flag and rule the world
[02:06.96]All the hopes we had unfurled
[02:11.76]Tell me a little joke
[02:15.45]Let's play the dozens
[02:19.74]Say something about my mama
[02:23.79]In a veiled quadrille round
[02:27.15]I'm just a white girl from a segregated town
[02:34.53]And I'm looking for some answers
[02:40.74]That I haven't found
[02:51.87]I want to be just like you
[02:52.41]I want to love first, I do
[02:58.02]Look people in the eye
[03:02.04]Make them feel good
[03:05.91]Then I'll make them think
[03:07.41]Just like you would
[03:18.06]Y'all were off on a night stroll
[03:21.75]Down the capitol boulevards
[03:25.23]You were emboldening another son
[03:29.55]Of this grand nation
[03:33.12]I would vote for you for president
[03:36.90]But you're floating with the butterflies
[03:41.13]Soaring with the seagulls
[03:44.28]Or the eagle as he takes the skies
[03:52.32]Let's eat some democratic soup
[03:55.95]And Eastern Market cheese
[03:59.58]Meals with you and Cornelia
[04:03.69]Were my most precious memories
[04:07.59]I don't know what the hell to do
[04:09.51]Please give me a little tap
[04:15.39]Tell me I can take it
[04:16.83]That I won't bottom out in seconds flat
