Memphis In The Meantime lyrics
Song information
Artist: John Hiatt Album: Bring The Family
Lyrics
I got something to say little girl You might not like my style But we've been hanging around this town Just a little too long a while
You say you're gonna get your act together Gonna take it out on the road But if I don't get outta here pretty soon My head's going to explode
Sure I like country music I like mandolins But right now I need a telecaster Through a vibrolux turned up to ten
Chorus: Lets go to memphis in the meantime baby Memphis in the meantime girl
I need a little shot of that rhythm baby Mixed up with these country blues I wanna trade in these ol' cowboy boots For some fine italian shoes
Forget the mousse and the hairspray, sugar We don't need none of that Just a little dab'll do ya girl Underneath a pork pie hat
Until hell freezes over Maybe you can wait that long But I don't think ronnie milsap's gonna ever Record this song
Chorus twice
Bridge: Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there Maybe there's somethin' in the air Before our upper lips get stiff Maybe we need us a big ol' whiff
If we could just get off-a that beat little girl Maybe we could find the groove At least we can get ourselves a decent meal Down at the rendez-vous
'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord Girl, it's gonna do me in I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone You know sound as sweet as sin
And after we get good and greasy Baby we can come back home Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac And change the message on the code-a-phone
But..
Chorus
