Midnight In Memphis lyrics
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.
