Stand down the blacktop at a cold dark night, boy
Pitch black skies there ain't a star in sight
But i'm looking for a change
I'm passing through memphis in the rain
Whitewashed buildings and old overgrown yards
I've got one hand on the wheel, i've got one on my heart
Looking for a girl without a name
I'm passing through memphis in the rain
But no matter what i do, lord, i can't stop
Gotta keep that hammer to the floor baby
Until i'm clear out of arkansas mama
Cause i know what they can do to me
Lord and i won't let them make a fool out of me
Things are starting to get strange
Passing through memphis in the rain
Sometimes a man's just gotta know when to go
He's gotta earn himself a keepin'
He's gotta know when he's been beat
So i called a cousin down in houston
He said 'come on down boy, we've got work for you to be doing'
I'm looking for a change
Passing through memphis in the rain
Yeah things are startin' to get strange
I'm passing through memphis in the rain
Oh yeah
