Memphis Rain

She wanted to wait ‘till I got home

Hated to do it on the phone

I could hear her start to cry

So I said babe it's alright

She said she hoped

I understood I just told her it's all good

Lit a smoke blew out the flame

Stepped out in the Memphis rain

There’s a little house she really loved

Just off highway 41

But not to far from where we live

A real good yard for raising kids

I never thought

I'd feel alive

Working in a 9 to 5

But you think of things you could have changed

Walking in the Memphis rain

Yeah there’s hardly anyone around

Now it’s really coming down

Down, down, down

That muddy rivers running high

I must be losing track of time

I can't feel my legs at all

Walked halfway to Arkansas

I wonder how long it'd take to go

From here to the gulf of Mexico

But a man could almost go insane

Out here in the Memphis rain

Yeah there’s hardly anyone around

Now it’s really coming down

Down, down, down

She said she hoped I understood

I just told her it's all good

I lit a smoke blew out the flame

And disappeared in the Memphis rain

Yeah, yeah

Yeah, it’s really coming down

Yeah

Oh, it’s really coming down

Yeah, it’s really coming down

Down, down, down

Down, down, down
