Why Marc Cohn Won a Golden Globe for Best New Artist

[00:00:11] Put on my blue sweat shoes and I boarded the plane Touchdown. In the land of the Delta blues In the middle of a pouring rain Empty handed Won't you look down over me I've got a first class ticket But I'm as blue as a boy can be I was walking in Memphis Was walking with my feet 10ft off a beer I was walking in Memphis but do I really feel the way I feel Saw the ghost of Elvis down on Union Avenue Followed him up to the gates of Graceland and I watched him walk right through now security they did not see him they just hovered round his tomb There's a pretty little thing Waiting for the king down in the jungle room Walking in Memphis Was walking with my feet 10ft off a butte I was walking in Memphis but do I really feel the way I feel? [00:02:12] They've got catfish on the table They've got gospel in the air and Reverend Green will be glad to meet you if you haven't got a prayer Now Muriel place piano every Friday at the Hollywood and they brought me down to the earth they asked me if I would play a little number and I sang with all my might she said, tell me, are you a Christian child? And I said, ma'am, I am tonight Walking in Memphis Walking with my feet 10ft off a bill I was walking in Memphis really feel the way I feel Put on my blue sweatshoes and I boarded the plane Sat down in the land of the Delta blues In the middle of a pouring rain.
