Lyrics of Memphis lives in me

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
And you'll see god everywhere

Like a sad old melody
That cheers you up, it sets you free
And 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 that 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 in me
