Tommy Roe - MEMPHIS ME lyrics

rate me

I loosen up my collar when it’s warm outside

And I wear a heavy coat when it’s cold

I call up the doctor when my fever’s high

See a tailor when my suit gets old

And when I need a little company

There’s only one girl I wanna see

And she lives in Memphis, Tennessee

I think I’ll Memphis me

One more time, yeah, yeah

Memphis me, one more time

It’s early in the morning in Birmingham

And I wish that I could stay in bed

‘Cause I’m dreaming that she’s with me here where I am

And I know it’s only in my head

When I need a little company

She’s the only girl I wanna see

But she lives in Memphis, Tennessee

I guess I’ll Memphis me

One more time, yeah, yeah

Memphis me, one more time

A farmer has to live where his crops will grow

And a peddler has to sell his wares

The children need to learn what the teachers know

Everybody needs someone who cares

So when I need a little company

There’s only one place for me to be

And it’s here in Memphis, Tennessee

I had to Memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah

Memphis me, one more time, yeah, yeah

One more time, Memphis me

One more time
