Memphis Freeze

Drink gallons of coffee Sit and talk with me Frozen in time In Memphis Tennessee Another blue story Drags me to my knees Oh Lord, deliver us From the Memphis freeze More left the building In the King's new shoes One step beyond The old Memphis blues Now I'm down there frozen And I'm down on Beale Street Won't you please, baby Turn up the heat The powerlines are all cut down From the weight of all of the trees In the Memphis freeze The Memphis freeze The console is silent Air has all gone dead In the obituaries Not a word was said How we stumbled in darkness Now the blind man sees When will it end The Memphis freeze The powerlines are all cut down From the weight of all of the trees In the Memphis freeze The Memphis freeze In the Memphis freeze Memphis freeze
