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

Written by：Todd Agnew[00:00:02]

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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