Shined over Memphis

It’s when the first star

Shined over Memphis

And the light just glistened on the sun

That’s when you’ll see him

And nobody’s listening

He’s still singing even when it’s for no one

Somewhere deep down in them mountain lands

Good ole smoke and moonshine’s in your hand

It don’t matter what you say

Ain’t nobody gonna care anyway

If you was a mountain man you’d understand

That’s when the first star

Shined over Memphis

And the light just glistened on the sun

That’s when you’ll see him

And nobody’s listening

He’s still singing even when it’s for no one

I don’t know just what you have been told

Things are better where that green grass grows

Listen to that howlin’ wind

You ain’t ever gonna have to think twice again

If you think you know when I swear you don’t

Cause that’s when the first star

Shined over Memphis

And the light just glistened on the sun

That’s when you’ll see him

And nobody’s listening

He’s still singing even when it’s for no one
