It's midnight in Memphis |
|
and all the boys are out tonight. |
|
Oh, midnight in Memphis, |
|
but my true love is not in sight. |
|
The neon's glowing, |
|
but I just don't see the light. |
|
I'm following my footsteps |
|
trying to find myself a friend. |
|
Oh, baby! Following my footsteps |
|
trying to see where they might end. |
|
I'm tryin' to break these blues, |
|
but I can't even get them to bend. |
|
Oh, midnight in Memphis. |
|
Well, ya take me away. |
|
Midnight in Memphis. |
|
It's a long, long time |
|
before the day. |
|
Burnin' out on Beale Street. |
|
Can you hear that engine roar? |
|
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. |
|
Burnin' out on Beale Street. |
|
There's a girl in every door. |
|
Yeah, you know it don't matter what you got, |
|
they're asking me for more. |
|
Play it for me one time, boys. |
|
I heard the river risin', |
|
risin' up over my head. |
|
Yeah, heard the river risin', |
|
and this is what it said: |
|
'I don't need no live ones; |
|
I just take care of the dead.' |
|
Oh, midnight in Memphis. |
|
Take me, take me away. |
|
Midnight in Memphis. |
|
It's a long, long time |
|
before the day. |
|
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, |
|
midnight in Memphis. |
|
It's a long, long time |
|
before the day, |
|
before the day. |
