Hoyt Axton - Midnight In Memphis lyrics

It's midnight in Memphis All the girls are out tonight It's midnight in Memphis But my true love is not in sight Oh,the neon is glowin' But I just can't see the light Well I'm followin' my footsteps Tryin' to find myself a friend Followin'my footsteps Just to see where it might end Oh, I'm tryin' to break these blues But I can't even get 'em to bend Chorus: Midnight in Memphis Where would you take me away? Midnight in Memphis It's a long, long time before day It's burnin' on Beale Street Can't you hear the engines roar? It's burnin' on Beale Street There's a girl in every door Girl in every door It don't matter what you got They're asking even more I heard the river risin' Risin' up over my head I heard the river risin' And this is what it said Said "I don't need no live ones I just take care of the dead" Repeat chorus
