Midnight In Memphis

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.

Midnight in memphis.

Midnight in memphis.

It's a long, long time

Before the day,

Before the day.
