Memphis on the River

You try so hard to be a mystery

A lady never shows her cards

The words you speak, say you love me

But the tone of your voice says it's hard

Love me to pieces, you left me speechless

I'm fighting fair, but baby, I know your weakness

So let's go to Memphis on the river at that special place we know

You can wear your emerald dress that makes your red hair glow

We'll drink whiskey mixed with moonlight like the water's steady flow

Memphis on the river, that's where I wanna go

I don't pretend to have the answers

As if the questions weren't enough

The less you say the more you share

Beggin' me to call your bluff

It's just six o'clock, baby, don't you stop

Leave Nashville now, and I'll leave Little Rock

We'll go to Memphis on the river at that special place we know

You can wear your emerald dress that makes your red hair glow

We'll drink whiskey mixed with moonlight like the water's steady flow

Memphis on the river, that's where I wanna go

Nothin' soothes raw hearts, like slow heat in the dark

With an old song playing, that echoes just what I'm saying, babe

Memphis on the river at that special place we know

You can wear your emerald dress that makes your red hair glow

We'll drink whiskey mixed with moonlight like the water's steady flow

Memphis on the river, that's where I wanna go

We'll go to Memphis on the river

Oh, Memphis on the river

Go to Memphis on the river, child

Memphis on the river, baby, river, baby

Come on let's go, it won't take long

Meet me down in Memphis
