| Can’t believe I’m back here again
|
| Feels like a lifetime and a thousand miles since then
|
| It was just one summer night but the kind of night you never can forget
|
| And I’m here with my baby and were driving downtown
|
| Thinks I’ve never been here, wants to show me around
|
| But he don’t know nothing about Memphis
|
| How could he ever know, this was our town
|
| All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
|
| But he don’t know nothing about Memphis
|
| Don’t want to look him in the eye
|
| Scared he might see what I remember of that night
|
| We were dancing on the water
|
| We were singing? |
| hallelujah? |
| to the stars
|
| And I know it would hurt him, if he could see my past
|
| He thinks he’s the only one who’s touched me like that
|
| But he don’t know nothing about Memphis
|
| How could he ever know this was our town
|
| All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
|
| But he don’t know nothing about Memphis
|
| Sweet sweet Memphis? |
| all the good times we had
|
| Ain’t no harm in looking back no no no
|
| He don’t know nothing about Memphis
|
| How could he ever know this was our town
|
| All he sees is that mighty Mississippi and the ghost of Elvis
|
| But he don’t know nothing about Memphis
|
| Sweet sweet Memphis |
