Lying in the darkness In this cheap, old, tired hotel I got some whiskey to keep me warm But inside I feel like hell It's midnight in Memphis And these blues won't go away Midnight in Memphis With one hundred hours to day Staring out my window Girl I watched you walk away Your game it was a cruel one Guess I was a fool to play It's midnight in Memphis And these blues won't go away Midnight in Memphis With one hundred hours to day Girl I really loved you I tried everything I could With a empty smile and dry eyes You left my life for good. It's midnight in Memphis And these blues won't go away Midnight in Memphis With one hundred hours to day They say time heals all wounds Every tear will dry Won't happen for me Maybe when I die. It's midnight in Memphis And these blues won't go away Midnight in Memphis With one hundred hours to day
