|
I feel as lonely |
|
As anybody |
|
Who's cryin' on a Friday night |
|
Once in a while |
|
On my radio dial |
|
I accidentally get it right |
|
I'm thinkin' I might be tempted to |
|
Slide on over |
|
Slide on over |
|
I'm thinkin' I need a little somethin' to |
|
Tide me over |
|
Tide me over |
|
Till Memphis |
|
You know that lonesome |
|
Whippoorwill? |
|
I know a girl who is bluer still |
|
Is that a jukebox altar call |
|
Or just a soft smoky place to fall? |
|
I'm thinkin' I might be tempted to |
|
Slide on over |
|
Slide on over |
|
I'm thinkin' I need a little somethin' to |
|
Tide me over |
|
Tide me over |
|
Till Memphis |
|
Cause the king knows how |
|
To take me all the way |
|
Yeah the king knows how |
|
{the King knows how} |
|
To take me all the way |
|
To Memphis |
|
I feel as lonely |
|
As anybody |
|
Who's cryin' on a Friday night |
|
I'm not laughin' |
|
Because it's funny. |
|
Hank is laughin' 'cause he's always right |
|
I'm thinkin' I might be tempted to |
|
Slide on over |
|
Slide on over |
|
I'm thinkin' I need a little something to |
|
Tide me over |
|
Tide me over |
|
You strike the match boy |
|
But do you know how |
|
To burn it all the way down |
|
To Memphis |
|
'Cause the king knows how |
|
{The King knows how} |
|
To take me all the way... |
