Mike Heron - Down on my Knees (after Memphis) lyrics

rate me

Oh, American Rose you put a thorn in my side

Can't you see that the plane is leaving but

I just can't take the ride

Oh no I can't fly back to England now

I got your breath in my blood too strong

And I knew that night down in Tennessee

I was fated to sing this song.

Down on my knees after Memphis

Nowhere to run

Just the sad country music on the radio driving me on

Down on my knees after Memphis

And feelin' so small

Like a faded country star

When there's no hope left at all

Oh I'm down, down on my knees

Oh I'm down, down on my knees.
