Lyrics:
You are now listening to a Bobby Johnson Beat
Take a flight to Memphis, we came from the trenches (hey)
Ballin' on the game, y'all be sittin'
maybe ten miles out of town
When I heard the rose of Memphis boys that's when I left the ground
I can't go back to Storyville way down there by the sea
nothin' like this
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time
I went down to the corner, I called by buddy Ray
Said it's a bad idea, but let's do
Graceland's door
Ride the Eagle get on board
Cross the Arkansas border by midnight
Next stop Graceland's door
It's the last train to Memphis
Ride
Low down dealin' in Memphis a card game in a back room
I was lookin' at my last dollar hopin' lady luck would come by soon
They raised the betting
Help me forget
She left me here
Memphis rain
Oh Memphis rain
Please wipe away
These fallen tears
The hours and the minutes
They pass by so slow
If only
follow by the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
She' use to get mad and she'd say
She'd go back to Memphis
Meet Me in Memphis
(Eric Hughes) adapted by Barbara Blue
Verse 1:
You been away for so long
And this city calls you like a distant song
It's
man couldn't sell you
He kept a 45 in a Crown Royal bag
Wiped the fingerprints off
Handed me the rag
I'm never going back to Memphis
I'm never going
The songs that were left behind
Time flies by so very fast
I've got Memphis on my mind
Made my way to Memphis, Tn
Strumming hard on these old guitar strings
One thing about me is on give a f*** like
Light the L pour the liquor in the Double Cup
If you from Memphis TN homie throw it up
If you from Memphis
If you love somebody enough
You follow them wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
If you love somebody
I couldn't let the train pass me by
Yeah I know I'm going to ride the 6:01
So c'mon everyone let's have some fun
Memphis Train, Memphis Train
I
run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend who always stands by me
Memphis knows me
Memphis shows me
How did life just
Well lightning struck at midnight with the thunder and the rain
My sleep was interrupted by the rhythm of a train
I asked of the conductor where this
pulls the trap lines
By night he lives alone
Don't really feel like company it's just him and his fridge
And his phone
(CHORUS)
Meet Me In Memphis
(Memphis takin' over. Blow a nigga ass off)
(Memphis takin' over. Blow a nigga ass off)
(Memphis, Memphis takin' over. Blow a nigga ass off)
(Memphis
North Memphis bitch, North Memphis bitch
South Memphis bitch, South Memphis bitch
Westwood bitch, Westwood bitch
Orangemount bitch, Orangemount bitch
crazy
And I have to laugh
I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there
I will pack my bags, and go
Oh even though it never rains here
drives me crazy
And I start to laugh
'Cause, I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there
I will pack my bag, and go
'Cause I don't care, if it
Yeah, Memphis grew up by the river
Those river boat captains tried to teach her wrong from right
Such a lovely child
She grew up fast and she grew up
tickin' and a-tockin'
Everything is peacefully dandy
I can see old granny cross the street, still a-rockin'
Watching the neighbors go by
Memphis in June
alone while doing stuff
I don't trust myself at all
I don't wanna get involved
Spent midnight in memphis, yeah
Didn't know where to spend it, yea
Felt
Memphis
By Ray Sisk, Craig Monday
If I were down in Key West the sunshine would cheer me up
If I were out in Las Vegas I might run into lady luck
