Matt Kennon - Cry Like Memphis lyrics

rate me

The home of the blues is where I live

Trapped inside these lonely walls that don't forgive

Surrounded by a memory

Her goodbye haunts me like a Beale Street melody

And I've done everything

But get down on my knees

And if my tears will set

This ghost inside me free

I'm gonna cry like Memphis

I'm going three times under

Gonna drown my sorrows

With tears that roll like thunder

'Til I can find the strength

'Til I can carry on

I'm gonna cry like Memphis

When they heard the King was gone

Love me tender, cuts through the dark

Coming from an open window of a passing car

And in that moment, oh, I believe

That I can almost feel your body next to me

But one heart beating

Slowly brings me back around

I know you're gone

And I know when I breakdown

I'm gonna cry like Memphis

I'm going three times under

Gonna drown my sorrows

With tears that roll like thunder

'Til I can find the strength

'Til I can carry on

I'm gonna cry like Memphis

When they heard the King was gone

'Til I can find the strength

'Til I can carry on

I'm gonna cry like Memphis

When they heard the King was gone
