Rice Drewry: Music

Abbey Road

(Rice Drewry)
Bought a ticket to ride across the water to a land
Where there’s a place that Sgt Pepper and his band
Would come together making something that could lighten up my load
It’s a long way from Memphis to Abbey Road

Followed the fool on a yellow submarine
Just yesterday, I was there in my dreams
Walked along the famous crosswalk but I did not bare my soles
It’s a long way from Memphis to Abbey Road

Don’t they know this is hallowed ground
All across the universe a revolution sounds

In my life, I need you to hold my hand
The two of us, have lived in the promised land
That’s alright now Mama, love me tender to my soul
It’s not so far from Memphis to Abbey Road

LEAD (verse)

Don’t they know this is hallowed ground
In the palace of the sun a revolution sounds

Back in Memphis, they still celebrate the birth
Of a king that rock and roll sent to earth
And on August nights when candlelight like Norwegian embers glow
It’s not so far from Memphis to Abbey Road
It’s not so far from Memphis to Abbey Road
