Macon, Georgia was just a dot on the map
If you were lucky enought to get out boy
But there were no going back
Then in 69 The Almman Brothers Band came to town
Yeah, with a brand new southern sound
From the heart of a restless spirit
Still tied to a whipping post
To the memory of Elizabeth Reed
Haunting halls from coast to coast
You could feel the revolution
It was everywhere you turned
From it all there was so much that we learned
Macon memories
Like a ghost from the past
There was a proficy
In this music made to last
Though it wasn't fair, it was their cross to bear
And their sacrifice
They made for you and me and all the world to see
Macon memories
Macon memories
Riding into town the first time
To see where it all began
Wet Willie and The CDB, and The Marshall Tucker Band
Mamma Louise cooking up a storm at the H&H Cafe
Grant's Lounge and the midnight jams
Way back in the day
Macon memories
Like a ghost from the past
There was a proficy
In this music made to last
Though it wasn't fair, it was their cross to bear
And their sacrifice
They made for you and me and all the world to see
Macon memories
The fog rolls in like a train coming down the tracks
A lonesome whistle blowing
For those who won't be coming back
Two guardian angels, they watch without a sound
Over our fallen heroes in Rose Hills Sacred Ground
Macon memories
Like a ghost from the past
There was a proficy
In this music made to last
Though it wasn't fair, it was their cross to bear
And their sacrifice
They made for you and me and all the world to see
Macon memories
