Soon the sun will rise

The dead of night

I could take a stroll

Sometimes when I'm on my own

I walk down Beale Street

Walk up to the river's edge
C F
Get down under the bridge
Am
Highway over

Hiding something overhead

I stand all alone in the dark

Pay no mind to the sky full of stars
Am
Try not to think

Just listen to my heart

There’s boats passing by

The dawning light

Stars fade to a clear blue sky

No sign of life

Over on the Arkansas side

Oh but before I cop

Wait for the sun itself to show
Am
A new daylight
G F G
Muddy water turned to gold

Maybe I should just stay in

I know I'll be back this way again
