There's a town that i call home
Where all the streets are paved with soul
Down on beale there's a honky-tonk bar
So hear the wail of a blues guitar
Have a beer and drop a dime in the blind man's jar
The blues sing softly in the air
Like a sunday morning prayer
Just one more drink and you'll see god everywhere
Like a sad old melody
That cheers you up, it sets you free
That's how memphis lives in me
There comes a time when muddy waters run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend who always stands by me
Memphis knows me
Never showed me
How did life just had to be
I couldn't even try to run away, say goodbye
Here i was born and here is where i'll die
I'm just a man from tennessee
I can't be what i can't be
All i know is memphis lives in me
I said i'm just a man from tennessee
Can't be what i can't be
All i know is memphis lives
All i know is memphis gives
All i know is memphis lives in me
