Asleep At The Wheel
"Midnight In Memphis" lyrics

Midnight In Memphis

Midnight in Memphis
And all the boys are out tonight
Yes, it's midnight in Memphis
But my true love is not in sight
Well, the neon is glowing
But I just can't see the light

Well, I'm following my footsteps
Trying to find myself a friend
Ooh, I'm following my footsteps
Trying to see where it might end
You know, I'm trying to break these blues
But I can't even get them to bend

Midnight in Memphis
Well, won't you take me away
Midnight in Memphis
It's a long, long time
Before the day
Before the day

It's running down on Beale Street
Can you hear them engine roar?
Yeah, running down on Beale Street
There's a girl in every door
Yeah, it don't matter what you got
They're asking me for more

Well, I heard the river rising
Rising up over my head
Oohh, I heard the river rising
And this is what it said
Said "I don't need no live ones
I just take care of the dead"

Midnight in Memphis
Well, won't you take me away
Midnight in Memphis
It's a long, long time
Before the day

Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis
