Memphis; The Blues

Rain started falling on the roof that morning, it was early summertime

It fogged up the rear window of my '67 300 inline

My lungs have been hurting and it's likely my liver's taken a licking too

Them Beale Street boys are handy with a clap on four and two

The thrill is gone so slow and easy, won't you love me tender?

The way you move's a drug, and I'm on a lifelong bender

So, rest them tired eyes, and let your dress fall to the ground

We're the only ones left who love Otis in this town

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I saw you coming from a mile away and knew what I'd been missing

Felt your touch and lost my mind, I'm full of bad intentions

Left my heart in Tulsa, but now I find it where you are

If you just ask, I swear, I'll change my ways, it doesn't have to be so hard

Dreaming out loud while you smile and run your fingers through my hair

From here to the hill of Tennessee, I'd follow you anywhere

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues
