Memphis In The Meantime |
| I got something to say little girl |
| You might not like my style |
| But we’ve been hanging around this town |
| Just a little too long a while |
| You say you’re gonna get your act together |
| Gonna take it out on the road |
| But if I dont get outta here pretty soon |
| My head’s going to explode |
| Sure I like country music |
| I like mandolins |
| But right now I need a telecaster |
| Through a vibro-lux turned up to ten |
| CHORUS: |
| Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby |
| Memphis in the meantime girl |
| I need a little shot of that rhythm baby |
| Mixed up with these country blues |
| I wanna trade in these ol country boots |
| For some fine italian shoes |
| Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar |
| We dont need none of that |
| Just a little dab’ll do ya girl |
| Underneath a pork pie hat |
| Until hell freezes over |
| Maybe you can wait that long |
| But I dont think Ronnie Milsap’s gonna ever |
| Record this song |
| CHORUS TWICE |
| BRIDGE: |
| Maybe there’s nothin' happenin' there |
| Maybe there’s somethin' in the air |
| Before our upper lips get stiff |
| Maybe we need us a big ol whiff |
| If we could just get off-a that beat little girl |
| Maybe we could find the groove |
| At least we can get a decent meal |
| Down at the Rendez-vous |
| 'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord |
| Girl, it’s gonna do me in |
| I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone |
| You know sound as sweet as sin |
| And after we get good and greasy |
| Baby we can come back home |
| Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac |
| And change the message on the cord-a-phone |
| But… |
| CHORUS |
