Memphis; The Blues (feat. J.R. Carroll)

Rain started fallin' on the roof that mornin'

It was early summertime

We fogged up the rear window of my '67

Three-hundred, in-line

My lungs have been hurtin' and it's likely my liver has taken a lickin' too

Them Beale Street boys are handy with a clap on four and two

The thrill is gone so slow and easy, won't you love me tender?

The way you move's a drug and I am on a life-long bender

So rest them tired eyes and let your dress fall to the ground

We're the only ones left who love Otis in this town

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

Saw you coming from a mile away

And knew what I'd been missing

Felt your touch and lost my mind

I'm full of bad intentions

Left my heart in Tulsa

but now I find it where you are

If you'd just ask, I swear, I'd change my ways

It doesn't have to be so hard

Dreaming out loud

while you smile

and run your fingers through my hair

From here to hell or Tennessee

I'd follow you anywhere

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues

Yeah, we should just

Fuck it, yeah, I'm in
