(monty criswell/tony martin/mark wills) |
|
Called her from a pay phone down on beale street |
|
On my way to birmingham |
|
Said she was tired of never seein' me |
|
She needed more than a guitar man |
|
As the lonesome notes filled the midnight sky |
|
I wipe my tears and wish that i was |
|
Anywhere but memphis |
|
Any other place would have made a difference |
|
The way the blues pour out of the dives and bars |
|
Ain't no place for a broken heart |
|
She could've told me in baton rouge or dallas |
|
Anywhere but memphis |
|
Wish she could have worked up her courage |
|
And let me down in little rock |
|
Or even as far back as phoenix |
|
When i stop to call from that truck stop |
|
And if telling me sooner was just too hard |
|
She could've waited later to break my heart |
|
Anywhere but memphis |
|
Any other place would have made a difference |
|
The way the blues pour out of the dives and bars |
|
Ain't no place for a broken heart |
|
She could've told me in baton rouge or dallas |
|
Anywhere but memphis |
|
Where the blues pour out of the dives and bars |
|
It ain't no place for a broken heart |
|
She could've told me in baton rouge or dallas |
|
Anywhere but memphis |
