Lyrics

Midnight in Memphis And all the boys are out tonight Yes, it's midnight in Memphis But my true love is not in sight Well, the neon is glowing But I just can't see the light Well, I'm following my footsteps Trying to find myself a friend Oh, I'm following my footsteps Trying to see where it might end Know I'm tryin' to break these blues But I can't even get them to bend Midnight in Memphis Well, won't take me away? Midnight in Memphis Well, it's a long, long time Before the day Before the day INSTRUMENTAL It's burnin' on Beale Street Can't you hear them engines roar? Hey Burnin' on Beale Street There's a girl at every door But it don't matter what you got They're asking me for more Well, I heard the river risin' Risin' up over my head (over my head, yeah) Woo-hoo, I heard the river risin' (I heard it risin') And this is what it said (this is what the river said, this is what the river said) Said, "I don't need no live ones" "I just take care of the dead." Yeah-woo-yeah, midnight in Memphis Well, won't you take me away? Midnight in Memphis Well, it's a long, long time Before the day Midnight in Memphis Midnight in Memphis (hey, I missed you so) Midnight in Memphis (where's my man?) Midnight in Memphis Midnight in Memphis (woo, baby) Midnight in Memphis (come on babe, come on baby) Midnight in Memphis (you know that I love you) Midnight in Memphis (I don't think I'm above you) Midnight in Memphis (hey, baby)
