We Go Back (feat. Mavis Staples)

Cup of coffee cost a nickel Newspaper sold for a dime A dollar bought a pack of smokes And a bottle of mad dog wine We go back When the blues was everywhere We go back Fightin' hard to get our share Times were bad, what a time we had We go back, way, way back On a balcony in Memphis April 1968 I never will forget What happened on that date We go back When the blues was everywhere We go back Fightin' to get our share Times were bad, but what a time we had We go back, way, way, way back I can see it in my mind I can still hear it in my ears The crying and the dying The hell it took to get us here We go back When the blues was everywhere We go back, go back, go back Fightin' to get our share Times were bad, but what a time we had We go back We go back We go way, way back I wanna go back to home town Where my grandmother was Living in my good of home Right on Highway 61 We had such a hard time Oh, but we, we made it, we made it We have faith and grace We believed we could make it And we did (Take me back) back in the day I remember when, oh yeah Buddy, do you remember? (Mmm) We go back
