It's midnight in Memphis
|
and all the boys are out tonight.
|
Oh, midnight in Memphis,
|
but my true love is not in sight.
|
The neon's glowing,
|
but I just don't see the light.
|
|
I'm following my footsteps
|
trying to find myself a friend.
|
Oh, baby! Following my footsteps
|
trying to see where they might end.
|
I'm tryin' to break these blues,
|
but I can't even get them to bend.
|
|
Oh, midnight in Memphis.
|
Well, ya take me away.
|
Midnight in Memphis.
|
It's a long, long time
|
before the day.
|
|
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
|
Can you hear that engine roar?
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
|
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
|
There's a girl in every door.
|
Yeah, it don't matter what you got,
|
they're asking me for more.
|
Play it for me one time, boys.
|
|
I heard the river risin',
|
risin' up over my head.
|
Yeah, heard the river risin',
|
and this is what it said:
|
"I don't need no live ones;
|
I just take care of the dead."
|
|
Oh, midnight in Memphis.
|
Take me, take me away.
|
Midnight in Memphis.
|
It's a long, long time
|
before the day.
|
|
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in Memphis.
|
Midnight in Memphis.
|
Midnight in Memphis.
|
It's a long, long time
|
before the day,
|
before the day.
