Midnight in Memphis Songtext
von Asleep at the Wheel

Midnight in Memphis
And all the boys are out tonight
Yes, it′s midnight in Memphis
But my true love is not in sight
Well, the neon is glowing
But I just can't see the light

Well, I′m following my footsteps
Trying to find myself a friend
Ooh, I'm following my footsteps
Trying to see where it might end
You know I'm tryin′ to break these blues
But I can′t even get them to bend

Midnight in Memphis
Well, won't you take me away?
Midnight in Memphis
Well, it′s a long, long time
Before the day
Before the day


It's burnin′ on Beale Street
Can't you hear them engines roar?
Hey
Burnin′ on Beale Street
There's a girl at every door
But it don't matter what you got
They′re asking me for more

Well, I heard the river risin′
Risin' up over my head (over my head, yeah)
Woo-hoo, I heard the river risin′ (I heard it risin')
And this is what it said (this is what the river said, this is what the river said)
Said, "I don′t need no live ones
I just take care of the dead"

Yeah-woo-yeah, midnight in Memphis
Well, won't you take me away?
Midnight in Memphis
Well, it′s a long, long time
Before the day


Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis (hey, I missed you so)
Midnight in Memphis (where's my man?)
Midnight in Memphis
Midnight in Memphis (woo, baby)
Midnight in Memphis (come on babe, come on baby)
Midnight in Memphis (you know that I love you)
Midnight in Memphis (I don't think I′m above you)
Midnight in Memphis (hey, baby)
