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.
