Unknown - Meet Me In Memphis lyrics

rate me

He's holed up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavenier Hotel

Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell

By days he pulls the trap lines

By night he lives alone

Don't really feel like company it't just him and his fridge

And his phone

(CHORUS)

Meet Me In Memphis that's where I'll be

I'm by the river please come back to me

Meet Me In Memphis my wild days are through

And nothing replaces me next to you

He's been there since she ran away

She said, "She needs some space"

Occasionally she still calls collect

>From some godforsaken place

Then one day a letter came

Too much for a letter please come here instead

Meet Me In Memphis my wild days are through

Still nothing replaces me next to you

(INSTRUMENTAL)

I know she could break my heart again

But I'm gonna play and I'm gonna win

Where Otis ould play

Da da da dock of the bay

Meet Me In Memphis that's where I'll be

I'm by the river and by the sea

(Oh please)Meet Me In Memphis my wild days

are through

Still nothing replaces me next to you
