Ty Herndon - Just Enough To Get To Memphis lyrics

I met a man with tattoos on his hands _____________________ He said "mate can you spare 20 dollars" I said "what you gonna do with that? Buy you a bottle of rotten good wine wake up in some door way, out of your mind" He said "I dont blame you what you're thinking but a man's gotta draw the line" CHORUS Just give me enough to get to Memphis I swear Ill be alright I've had some bad and I've has some good But I'm clean out of love tonight When I cross that old mississippi coz heavens waitin on the other side If I can get enough to get to Memphis Ill be home by the morning light I'm a fool I'm told, but he touched my soul with his worn out shoes and _____ that 20 dollars was just pocked change to me but it could change his world so fast he mumbled something about Vietnam s**ed in his pride and stuck out his hand i wanted so much to believe him Lord I gave him every cent I had CHORUS I got to thinking as he walked away that i was just another fool must have been at least 100 dollars I gave him for his phoney thoughts when suddenly he turned around in his tracks counted the __ from an old paper sack he probably said "thank you son, this is all I need" as he handed me all but the 20 back Chorus If I can get enough to get to memphis, it'll be a one way ride
