Midnight In Memphis - JJ Cale

Its midnight in memphis

And all the boys are out tonight.

Oh, midnight in memphis,

But my true love is not in sight.

The neons glowing,

But I just dont see the light.

Im following my footsteps

Trying to find myself a friend.

Oh, baby!

following my footsteps

Trying to see where they might end.

Im tryin to break these blues,

But I cant even get them to bend.

Oh, midnight in memphis.

Well, ya take me away.

Midnight in memphis.

Its 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.

Theres a girl in every door.

Yeah, you know it dont matter what you got,

Theyre 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 dont need no live ones;

I just take care of the dead.»

Oh, midnight in memphis.

Take me, take me away.

Midnight in memphis.

Its a long, long time

Before the day.

Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in memphis.

Midnight in memphis.

Midnight in memphis.

Its a long, long time

Before the day,

Before the day.
