|
Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
|
Katydid sing like a symphony
|
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
|
Melody blowing through the willow tree
|
|
What was I supposed to do
|
Standin' there lookin' at you
|
A lonely boy far from home
|
Maybe it was Memphis
|
Maybe it was southern summer nights
|
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
|
But it sure felt right
|
|
Read about you in a Faulkner novel
|
Met you once in a Williams play
|
Heard about you in a country love song
|
Summer nights beauty took my breath away
|
|
What was I supposed to do
|
Standin' there lookin' at you
|
A lonely boy far from home
|
Maybe it was Memphis
|
Maybe it was southern summer nights
|
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
|
But it sure felt right
|
|
Maybe it was Memphis
|
Maybe it was southern summer nights
|
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
|
But it sure felt right
|
|
Every night now once I've been back home
|
I lie awake at night drifting in my memory
|
I think about you on your momma's front porch swing
|
Talking that way so soft to me
|
|
What was I supposed to do
|
Standin' there lookin' at you
|
A lonely boy far from home
|
Maybe it was Memphis
|
Maybe it was southern summer nights
|
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
|
But it sure felt right
|
|
Maybe it was Memphis
|
Maybe it was southern summer nights
|
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
|
But it sure felt right
|
Maybe it was you maybe it was me
|
But it sure felt right
|
You know it sure felt right...
