Mornings In Memphis |
Soon the sun will rise |
Outside the streets are quiet |
Not a car on the road |
Not a soul in sight |
I’ll bet it’s ninety degrees |
There’s no escape from the heat |
The dead of night |
Still climbs up from the street |
I’ve been up all night |
Drinking alone |
I ain’t got no business |
Out on the road |
I love mornings in Memphis |
I could take a stroll |
Sometimes when I’m on my own |
I walk down Beale Street |
Real nice and slow |
Walk up to the river’s edge |
Get down under the bridge |
Highway |
overhead |
I stand all alone in the dark |
Pay no mind to the sky full of stars |
Try not to think |
Just listen to my heart |
Those boats pass in the night |
I’m skipping stones and gettin' high |
I love mornings in Memphis |
Long after the midnight |
Before the sunrise |
Tracing fingers in the dust |
Then startin' to sober up |
Dawning light |
Stars fade to a clear blue sky |
No sign of life |
Over on the Arkansas side |
Oh but before |
Wait for the sun itself to show |
A new daylight |
Muddy water turned to gold |
Maybe I should just stay in |
I know I’ll be back this way again |
I love mornings in Memphis |
