	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.) copyright 2002 A.
