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
Hear the wail of a blues guitar
Have a beer drop a time in the blind
Man's jar.

The blues sing softly in the air
Like a sunday morning prayer
Just one more drink and you'll see god
Everywhere
Like a sad, old melody
That tears you up, but sets you free
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 who always stands by me, yeah
Memphis knows me
Memphis shows me
How this life just has 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.

Woah woah hooooo hooooooooo.

There comes a time when muddy waters run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend who always stands by me
Memphis knows me
Memphis shows me
How this life just has 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
Can't be what i can be
All i know is memphis lives
All i know is memphis gives
All i know is memphis lives
In me.
