Lyrics

Memphis

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Are you gonna call me in the morning?

'Cause I noticed the look in your eyes

When our hands touched, glancing like boxers

Fighting for championship prizes

I was just looking for a good time

I never thought I'd find it

And I'll be back on the 9 to 5 grind tomorrow

Times is hard and the bills are deep

I can barely make ends meet, I can't take care of you, so

Oh I know we've had a good ride

But there's no pressure to follow through

Some never cross the ocean

I've only stood barefoot on the shore

I've never been to Memphis

But I swear I will someday

And if I, if I'm being honest

I've never been in love before

I've just been chasing shadows

Praying that it waits for me

You're not gonna call me in the morning

That's all right, dear, it's no surprise

Plus I heard you got a girl back home

She must have slipped your mind, well

We were out having a good time

And these things always happen without warning in the morning

Always the spark, never the flame

I've never crossed the ocean

I've only stood barefoot on the shore

Never been to Memphis

But I swear I will someday

And if I, if I'm being honest

I've never been in love before

I've just been chasing shadows

Praying that it waits

And I can be alone a little longer if it means

That love is rising like the dawn to shine on me

I'm running on, life ain't half as long as it seems

It isn't gonna wait for me

I'm gonna cross the ocean

And swim 'till I lose the shore

I've never been to Memphis

But I'm on my way

And I'm just being honest

But I've never been in love before

And I've seen its shadows

Yes, I've seen its shadow

Oh I've seen its shadows

Praying that it waits for me
