Memphis Songtext
von Rancid

I′ve lived my whole life made mistakes
From the get-go, Street kid from the start right no regrets no
I do what I want yeah cuz I said so
No sleep for the weak right No bet no
Rollin' with the punk rockers
I ain′t lying, Fake guns fake bands, Fake punk I ain't buying
Hit the road, All I know, Rock and roll ain't dying about fifteen deep
We hit the streets low ridin

By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis
We were crazy
Tonight draw a blanket
And a pillow to keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm


He was back causing trouble, Time′s they′re a comin' round
Oh no, let me go to another round
Tuesday night is when the storm′s gonna settle down
Had a glance circumstance
Don't cause trouble bound
She′s the one, all alone, I come lookin
Smoke and mirrors as I watch, Aw, that girl was trippin
It's no fun lost again, To have your heart broken
Greed is from a world that is built on hustling

By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis
We were crazy
Tonight draw a blanket
And a pillow to keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm

The breaks were falling when they had failed
Every road can lead ya straight down to fucking hell
Rain stopped falling when they had failed
Every road can take ya straight down to hell

Doing nothing here everyone straight trippin
Happy at times are gone past starts slippin
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin
Good every night in a different city I′ll be sleepin
Let me know here we go met a girl named Lola
Is she here Is she there Drinking Jack and cola,
She says, "Tim, where ya been? I got somethin to show ya"
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and rollin!


By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis
We were crazy
Tonight draw a blanket
And a pillow keep us warm
Tonight protect us from the storm"
