Gabe Lee - Memphis

Memphis
By Ray Sisk, Craig Monday

If I were down in Key West the sunshine would cheer me up
If I were out in Las Vegas I might run into lady luck
If I were lonely in New Orleans there's a thousand things to do
But I'm in Memphis, lordy Memphis ain't no place to lose the blues

I know I'll never get over you babe, hangin round in Memphis town
While Beale Street is oozing with rhythm and blues and I'm just
Draggin your memory around
Somewhere tonight the moon is just right for gettin me over you
But I'm in Memphis, lordy Memphis ain't no place to lose the blues

If I could do it all over I'd love you just the same
Even though you're leavin's about to drive me insane
Tonight I'm gonna dream of the day I'm finally over you, I always do
Then I wake up in Memphis lordy Memphis ain't no place to lose the blues

I know I'll never get over you babe, hangin round in Memphis town
While Beale Street is oozing with rhythm and blues and I'm just
Draggin' your memory around
Somewhere tonight the moon is just right for gettin' me over you
But I'm in Memphis, lordy Memphis ain't no place to lose the blues
