Lyrics

It's midnight in Memphis All the girls are out tonight It's midnight in Memphis But my true love is not in sight Oh,the neon is glowin' But I just can't see the light Well I'm followin' my footsteps Tryin' to find myself a friend Followin'my footsteps Just to see where it might end Oh, I'm tryin' to break these blues But I can't even get 'em to bend Chorus: Midnight in Memphis Where would you take me away? Midnight in Memphis It's a long, long time before day It's burnin' on Beale Street Can't you hear the engines roar? It's burnin' on Beale Street There's a girl in every door Girl in every door It don't matter what you got They're asking even more I heard the river risin' Risin' up over my head I heard the river risin' And this is what it said Said "I don't need no live ones I just take care of the dead" Repeat chorus
