Woman I Love Lives in Memphis, Tennessee

歌詞

There's a town that I call home Where all the streets are paved with soul Down on Beale, there's a honky-tonk bar Hear the wail of a blues guitar Have a beer, drop a dime in a blind man's jar The blues sing softly in the air Like a Sunday morning prayer Just one more drink and you'll see God everywhere Like a sad old melody Tears you up but sets you free That's how Memphis lives in me There comes a time when muddy waters run rough There comes a point when a man has had enough Like a friend who always stands by me, yeah Memphis knows me, Memphis shows me How this life just has to be I couldn't even try To run away and say goodbye Here I was born and here is where I'll die Just a man from Tennessee Can't be what I can't be All I know is Memphis lives in me There comes a time when muddy waters run rough There comes a point when a man has had enough Like a friend who always stands by me, yeah Memphis knows me, Memphis shows me How this life just has to be I couldn't even try To run away and say goodbye Here I was born and here is where I'll die Just a man from Tennessee Can't be what I can't be All I know is Memphis lives All I know is Memphis gives All I know is Memphis lives in me
