It's midnight in memphis
All the girls are out tonight
It's midnight in memphis
But my true love is not in sight
Oh,the neon is glowin'
But i just can't see the light

Well i'm followin' my footsteps
Tryin' to find myself a friend
Followin'my footsteps
Just to see where it might end
Oh, i'm tryin' to break these blues
But i can't even get 'em to bend

Chorus:
Midnight in memphis
Where would you take me away?
Midnight in memphis
It's a long, long time before day

It's burnin' on beale street
Can't you hear the engines roar?
It's burnin' on beale street
There's a girl in every door
Girl in every door
It don't matter what you got
They're asking even more

I heard the river risin'
Risin' up over my head
I heard the river risin'
And this is what it said
Said "i don't need no live ones
I just take care of the dead"

Repeat chorus
