There's a powerful magic
That shapes the music of the Shoals
There's a Powerful magic
That shapes the music of the Shoals
It reaches up deep down and grabs, and grabs you by your soul

Well you got the Swampers
Aretha & Clarence too
Wilson & Etta just to name a few
So many hit records Didn't you ever wonder, man
Who was doin who

CHORUS:
Here the river runs its songs
The melodies never get old
Here the river runs its songs
Where the mud (music) turns to gold
The Shoals baby, The Shoals

SOLO

This is sacred ground
Where the trail of tears flows
This is sacred ground
Where the trail of tears flows Listen to the rhythms that mother earth shows (knows)

Well we’ve got FAME
An the Cypress Moon too
Muscle Shoals Sound again to name a few
But we all gathered at the Nutthouse, Man
To do the do for you

CHORUS:
Here the river runs its songs
The melodies never get old
Here the river runs its songs
Where the mud (music) turns to gold
The Shoals baby, The Shoals
