The sun went down like a curtain
|
Memphis looks bigger at night
|
All the tatooed boys in uniform
|
Step in and out of the light
|
|
She bought me good whiskey in Memphis
|
She bought supper and she paid for the room
|
And as best as I can remember
|
She paid dearly for loving me too
|
|
She said hey don't I know you
|
Now ain't you the one
|
The one with the guitar boys
|
And all them sad songs
|
About men in the rain
|
Did you ever miss a plain
|
In Memphis
|
|
We laughed at the strangers we were in the bed
|
Two cigarettes lit up the room
|
Like two backseat lovers can't wait to get started
|
Knowing everything's over too soon
|
|
Now Memphis ain't bad in the morning
|
Good coffee well it's just hard to find
|
But let me suggest that you never leave Memphis
|
With anything on your mind
|
