Lyrics Maybe It Was Memphis - American Aquarium

Maybe It Was Memphis

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…
