LYRICS:
I got stuck down in Memphis town
Snow up in Chicago and the plane on the ground
Left me stranded, the whole damn band
Not a seat left for me in the company van
But then a woman standing there as the guys peeled away
Said "Girl I do believe this is your lucky day
Because I'm headed to a party, an anniversary
And I know you're not busy so you're coming with me

You got stuck in Soulsville USA

So we left the Mississippi and we crossed the trolley tracks
Took a bus uptown all the way to Stax
And a man standing there said "Hurry on in
Because today proceedings are about to begin"
Well when I walked through the door my jaw dropped to the floor
There was Thomas Family & MG's and so many more
Mr. Porter, Mr. Cropper, Mr. Isaac Hayes A
And they were all telling stories of the glory days of

Being stuck in Soulsville USA

Some people say that you make your own luck
I guess to get where it's at sometimes you've got to get stuck

Soulsville

Well as I listened to this piece of Memphis history
The sweet sounds of Stax became revealed to me
The key to the rhythm and the secret to the soul
Is that the sum of the parts are at the heart of the whole
What a gift from above, an opportunity
To witness all of the love of that community
And to my dying day I thank my sister Cindy
For showing me some sweet southern hospitality

When I was stuck in Soulsville USA
Some people say that you make your own luck
I guess to get where it's at sometimes you've got to get stuck
Soulsville
