Meet Me In Memphis |
He’s holed up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavenier Hotel |
Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell |
By days he pulls the trap line |
By night he lives alone |
Don’t really feel like company it’s just him and his fridge and his phone |
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis) |
That’s where I’ll be (that's where I’ll be) |
I’m by the river (oooh oooh) please come back to me |
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis) |
My wild days are through |
And nothin' replaces (oooh oooh) me next to you |
He’s been there since she ran away |
She said she needs some space |
Occasionally she still calls collect |
From some god forsaken place |
Then one day a letter came |
Postmarked Tennessee |
And the envelope scent |
And the postage spent |
Well it lit up her old memory |
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis) |
That’s what she said (that's what she said) |
Too much for a letter (oooh oooh) please come here instead |
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis) |
My wild days are through |
Still nothing replaces (oooh oooh) me next to you |
(horn instrumental) |
(Meet me in Memphis) |
I know she could break my heart again |
But I’m gonna play and I’m gonna win |
Where Otis would play |
Da da da dock of the bay |
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis) |
That’s where I’ll be (that's where I’ll be) |
I’m by the river (oooh oooh) you’re by the sea |
Oh please, meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis) |
My wild days are through |
Still nothing replaces (oooh oooh) me next to you |
