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 |
