lyrics

Motown To Muscle Shoals
(Written by Rachel Williams/Mark Narmore/Kim Copeland)

Papa was a rolling stone
Who sang his way to the heart of Dixie
Oh, but Papa only stopped in the name of love
Long enough to make little ol' me
My fate was signed, sealed, delivered
'Cuz he left Motown deep in my veins
And my Mama's heart broke the day this free bird
Opened up her mouth and sang

Chorus:
I've got a bass up in Detroit City
And a Wurley down in Alabam
I've got a song that'll move ya
Make you dance even when you think you can't
And oh Lord knows
Lord knows I've got enough soul
To reach Motown, Motown to Muscle Shoals

My Daddy's footsteps took me
All of the places Mama warned me about
I may never lay down roots
'Cuz I'm addicted to the lights and the crowds
Another one-night stand motel
Down another two-lane road
Hey, my busted ass Buick may get me there
But it's the dream that drives me on

Chorus

This is my song, this is my truth
Hey baby, I'm the bridge between the two

Chorus
