Heart of Memphis Songtext
von Robin McKelle & The Flytones

I took the train down south from chicago all the way to memphis
Searching for a love and a place i could call my own
Close to midnight we pulled into the station
One suitcase and bag filled with all my good intentions

After sunrise, i headed down toward the mississippi river
Rain falling heavy filled the streets with an after glow
All the smiles on the faces of the people made me feel so welcome
In a place where my heart grew heavy and i got to know

Way down in memphis
There′s a place that i go
Along the mississippi river
You won't ever feel alone
If you got the blues, it′s alright
Head on down for some sweet soul music
Deep in the heart of memphis there's a part that feels just like home


A waitress named dixie got me hooked on tennesse whiskey
A rendezvous with a friend, sweet tea and bbq
All the friends and the friends of friends who treated me like family
Got me thinking i could pack up and forget about buffalo

Way down in memphis
There's a place that i go
Along the mississippi river
You won′t ever feel alone
If you got the blues, it′s alright
Head on down for some sweet soul music
Deep in the heart of memphis there's a place that feels just like home

Way down in memphis
There′s a place that i go
Along the mississippi river
You won't ever feel alone
If you got the blues, it′s alright
Head on down for some sweet soul music
Deep in the heart of memphis there's a place i can call my own
Deep in the heart of memphis there′s a part that feels just like home

Deep in the heart yea
Deep down in the heart now
There's a place i call home
