lyrics

MEMPHIS MOON


It was a little bit of Memphis
A little bit of mischief
And I spilled a little whiskey on the bed
There were a lot of reasons I can’t say
Reasons that seem like little things
But it’s the little things that get in the way and betray you like a kiss

Chorus:
Dancing with you
Memphis Moon
Are you still shining on me
Did you feel it too
Is this what you do
Well you can make me your Memphis fool

It was a grand affair and we all came
But brought the things that we can’t change
The preacher got drunk and the jilted lovers sat on the street
The wine went down like the river to the gulf
And we danced in the city on the edge of the bluff
And in the shadow of the greater one that we’d just made

Chorus

You let your guard down
And maybe I just lucked out
But baby our time ran out
And I was running when I met you like I’m running now

Chorus
