Meet Me in Memphis

All the miles ‘tween here and Arkansas

They can’t keep me from you

Though your boss and all the bills at home

Might try their damnedest to

Yeah you won me with your witty jokes

The sweetness in your smiles

And now all my hopes are tangled up in telephone wires

I’ve got gas to get to Memphis

I’ve got cash to get a room

I know the miles add up darling

But let me spend the night with you

Yeah it’ll be an early morning

it’s a damn long way to drive

But won’t you meet me in Memphis tonight?

You know I used to light you up

But has our fire begun to fade?

Yeah is it my imagination

Or was it brighter yesterday?

Is it the flicker of a candle

That’s reflecting in your eyes?

‘Cause darling all my hopes are tangled up in telephone wires

I’ve got gas to get to Memphis

I’ve got cash to get a room

I know the miles add up darling

But let me spend the night with you

Yeah it’ll be an early morning

it’s a damn long way to drive

But won’t you meet me in Memphis tonight?

All this distance has your heart worn thin

But I swear it’s not too late

We could mend the broken pieces

If you just meet me halfway

‘Cause I’ve got gas to get to Memphis

I’ve got cash to get a room

I know the miles add up darling

But let me spend the night with you

Yeah it’ll be an early morning

it’s a damn long way to drive

But won’t you meet me in Memphis tonight?

Yeah won’t you meet me in Memphis tonight?

Oh won’t you meet me in Memphis tonight?
