Memphis; The Blues (feat. J.R. Carroll)

Rain started falling on the roof that morning, it was early summertime
It fogged up the rear window of my '67 300 inline
My lungs have been hurting and it's likely my liver's taken a licking too
Them Beale Street boys are handy with a clap on four and two

The thrill is gone so slow and easy, won't you love me tender?
The way you move's a drug, and I'm on a lifelong bender
So, rest them tired eyes, and let your dress fall to the ground
We're the only ones left who love Otis in this town

I need you like Memphis, the blues
I need you like Memphis, the blues

I saw you coming from a mile away and knew what I'd been missing
Felt your touch and lost my mind, I'm full of bad intentions
Left my heart in Tulsa, but now I find it where you are
If you just ask, I swear, I'll change my ways, it doesn't have to be so hard
Dreaming out loud while you smile and run your fingers through my hair
From here to the hill of Tennessee, I'd follow you anywhere

I need you like Memphis, the blues
I need you like Memphis, the blues

I need you like Memphis, the blues
I need you like Memphis, the blues
I need you like Memphis, the blues
I need you like Memphis, the blues
