When I am gone, I know the waiting
|
Gets to you
|
It's like the world stopped turning
|
You're frozen, no one seems to notice
|
The absence of the wind
|
I know you were only
|
It's the kind only I feel out here
|
|
I don't wanna alone in Memphis
|
I don't wanna alone in New Orleans
|
I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels
|
Dirty sheets and hourly rigs
|
I just wanna put the pedal to the floor
|
Burn up the stage like an old troubadour
|
I wanna get stoned
|
But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
|
|
And I've been down
|
In Mississippi river towns
|
For far too long
|
There's something about the night life
|
Something about this bar
|
There's something in the music
|
The brass, the drum beat like a heart
|
It reminds of your eyes and cold black hair
|
I am growing ever lonelier out here
|
|
I don't wanna alone in Memphis
|
I don't wanna alone in New Orleans
|
I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels
|
Dirty sheets and hourly rigs
|
I just wanna put the pedal to the floor
|
Burn up the stage like an old troubadour
|
I wanna get stoned
|
But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
|
|
I don't wanna be alone in Memphis
|
I don't wanna be alone in New Orleans
|
I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels
|
Dirty sheets and hourly rigs
|
I just wanna put the pedal to the floor
|
Burn up the stage like an old troubadour
|
I wanna get stoned
|
But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
|
