    Story Behind the Song
    Based on a true story. Really.

    Lyrics
    Gunmetal Sun

    I'm going to drive to Tupelo Mississippi
    I'm going to go to the birthplace of Elvis Presley
    when I cross the delta over from Arkansas
    the river'll shine like a road of slapback dimes

    I'm going to go right in the dead of summer
    before the dog days even think about being born
    when you wear humidity like a second skin
    heavy on your shoulders, it keeps you waking up at night

    (chorus)
    what happens when you shoot a man in Fayetteville
    does the blues turn red like the gunmetal sun
    what happens when I drive out of this town
    without even saying my nightly prayers
    it's a hellfire road down into the gunmetal sun

    the river rolls out like a broken rosary
    the border is the beads of piety
    you can't lay a hand on that kind of love
    it'll burn the prints right off from your palms

    (bridge)
    oh baby I'm stuck in a border city
    it's hot and blank as the devil's stare
    you can forget about the crossroads
    cuz darling I've already been there

    (chorus)
    what happens when you shoot a man in Fayetteville
    does the blues turn red like the gunmetal sun
    what happens when I drive out of this town
    without even saying my nightly prayers
    it's a hellfire road down into the gunmetal sun
    (rpt.)
