Memphis Jane Songtext
von Buddy & Julie Miller

I don′t know where she came from but she wanted a ride
Before I could say anything she just got inside
She said, you got a cigarette? I said, what's your name?
She said, I′m Josephine but in Memphis I'm Jane

The tattoo that read S M O O T H was crooked
Guess that was my first warning and I should've took it
She said, I been clean eight months now, hey, you got some money?
I just started laughin′ ′cause it was so funny

She wants to ride and she ain't going nowhere
She wants to ride, well, she don′t even know where
She's just ridin′ around

She said, my old man split and left me here all alone
I just need twenty dollars to get back home
I smiled and she said, friend every word I said is true
And I said, why in the world would I not believe you?


She wants to ride but she ain't going nowhere
She wants to ride, well, she don′t even know where
She's just ridin' around

She′s Josephine and she′s Jane
She just wants twenty dollars
She's got smooth on her arm
She wants to ride

I used to live in spring hill but I got relocated
Now I′m at the come and go motel but I hate it
She said, I got a new job now at hair world and market
Well, I went sixty five and she said, drive it or park it

She wants to ride, well, she ain't going nowhere
She wants to ride, well, she don′t even know where
She's just ridin′ around
She's just ridin' around
She′s smooth
