Lyrics

[Verse 1] Looking at you through a misty moonlight Katy did sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowin' through a willow tree [Pre-Chorus] What was I s'posed to do Standing there lookin' at you? Lonely boy far from home [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Verse 2] Read about you in a Faulkner novel Met you once in a Williams' play Heard about you in a country love song Summer night beauty took my breath away [Pre-Chorus] What was I s'posed to do Standing there lookin' at you? Lonely boy far from home [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Every night now since I've been back home I lie awake drifting in my memory Think about you on your mama's front porch swing Talking that way, so soft to me [Pre-Chorus] What was I s'posed to do Standing there lookin' at you? Lonely boy far from home [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Outro] Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Oh, you know it sure felt right Oh, maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Memphis But it sure felt right
