When in Rome, When in Memphis Songtext
von Cory Branan

Traveling light, far as she can tell
Though my head′s as heavy as the Liberty Bell
I'm playing it close in case this is far as I go
Traveling light, far as she knows

And I′m right at home anywhere once it gets dark
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when in Asbury Park
She glows in the dark discarded parts
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when in Asbury Park
She strikes at the heart of me, my arteries spark
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when in Asbury Park
I strip her memory down to her strawberry mark
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when I'm in Asbury Park

All these echos of what I coulda, woulda, shoulda said
But I prefer not to speak ill of the dead
Another bender won't bend no bars apart
O′ be still my incarcerated heart


Right at home anywhere once it gets dark
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when in Asbury Park
She glows in the dark discarded parts
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when in Asbury Park
She strikes at the heart of me, my arteries spark
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when in Asbury Park
I strip her memory down to her strawberry mark
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when in Asbury Park

Some love is home, some love is just passing through
When in Rome, when in Memphis
So when you′re out doing like the locals do
When in Rome, when in Memphis
You might run into one of me most any old where
When in Rome, when in Memphis
But when I go I ghost out into thin air
When in Rome, when in Memphis, when I'm in Asbury...

When I go I ghost
When I go I ghost
When I go I ghost
When I go I ghost

When I go I ghost (be still my incarcerated)
When I go I ghost
When I go I ghost (be still my incarcerated)
When I go I ghost


When I go I ghost (be still my incarcerated heart)
When I go I ghost (be still my incarcerated)
When I go I ghost
(When in Rome, when in Memphis, when I′m in Asbury Park)
When I go I ghost (be still my incarcerated)

When I go I ghost (be still my incarcerated heart)
When I go I ghost
(When in Rome, when in Memphis, when I'm in Asbury Park)

When I go I ghost
When I go I ghost
When I go I ghost
When I go I ghost

When I go I ghost
When I go I
