Lyrics
It's midnight in memphis
And all the boys are out tonight
Oh, midnight in memphis
But my true love is not in sight
The neon's glowing
But I just don't see the light
I'm following my footsteps
Trying to find myself a friend
Oh, baby! following my footsteps
Trying to see where they might end
I'm tryin' to break these blues
But I can't even get them to bend
Oh, midnight in memphis
Well, ya take me away
Midnight in memphis
It's 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
There's a girl in every door
Yeah, you know it don't matter what you got
They're 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 don't need no live ones;
I just take care of the dead."
Oh, midnight in memphis
Take me, take me away
Midnight in memphis
It's a long, long time
Before the day
Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in memphis
Midnight in memphis
Midnight in memphis
It's a long, long time
Before the day
Before the day
