Memphis Nights

Been to New York City where those streets they shine so bright

Been to California. San Francisco, what a sight

But everywhere I go, can't help but miss

Miss those good ol' Memphis nights

Made my way to Nashville where I thought I saw the light

Walked the streets of San Anton' but it just didn't seem right

Nah, nothing feels quite the same

As a good ol' Memphis night

Yeah, where the river rolls

She's gonna heal your soul tonight

And when you hear that guitar play

She'll melt your blues away

'til your troubles are out of sight

I hear a piano playing, it fills the smoky Beale Street air

You can hear it from the Arcade all the way down to the square

I'm going back to Memphis

'cause I left my poor heart there

Yeah, where the river rolls

She's gonna heal your soul tonight

And when you hear that guitar play

She'll melt your blues away

'til your troubles are out of sight

I'm gonna catch a train to where I know I'm gonna feel alright

Roll into Central Station and see the glow of the neon lights

Then I'm gonna kiss my baby

Under the moon of a Memphis night
