Heart of Memphis

I took the train down south from chicago all the way to memphis Searching for a love and a place i could call my own Close to midnight we pulled into the station One suitcase and bag filled with all my good intentions After sunrise, i headed down toward the mississippi river Rain falling heavy filled the streets with an after glow All the smiles on the faces of the people made me feel so welcome In a place where my heart grew heavy and i got to know Way down in memphis There's a place that i go Along the mississippi river You won't ever feel alone If you got the blues, it's alright Head on down for some sweet soul music Deep in the heart of memphis there's a part that feels just like home A waitress named dixie got me hooked on tennesse whiskey A rendezvous with a friend, sweet tea and bbq All the friends and the friends of friends who treated me like family Got me thinking i could pack up and forget about buffalo Way down in memphis There's a place that i go Along the mississippi river You won't ever feel alone If you got the blues, it's alright Head on down for some sweet soul music Deep in the heart of memphis there's a place that feels just like home Way down in memphis There's a place that i go Along the mississippi river You won't ever feel alone If you got the blues, it's alright Head on down for some sweet soul music Deep in the heart of memphis there's a place i can call my own Deep in the heart of memphis there's a part that feels just like home Deep in the heart yea Deep down in the heart now There's a place i call home
