Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight   Katydid sing like a symphony   Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby   Melody blowing through the willow tree      What was I supposed to do   Standin' there lookin' at you   A lonely boy far from home   Maybe it was Memphis   Maybe it was southern summer nights   Maybe it was you maybe it was me   But it sure felt right      Read about you in a Faulkner novel   Met you once in a Williams play   Heard about you in a country love song   Summer nights beauty took my breath away      What was I supposed to do   Standin' there lookin' at you   A lonely boy far from home   Maybe it was Memphis   Maybe it was southern summer nights   Maybe it was you maybe it was me   But it sure felt right      Maybe it was Memphis   Maybe it was southern summer nights   Maybe it was you maybe it was me   But it sure felt right      Every night now since I've been back home   Lie awake drifting in the memory   I think about you on your momma's front porch swing   Talking that way so soft to me      What was I supposed to do   Standin' there lookin' at you   A lonely boy far from home   Maybe it was Memphis   Maybe it was southern summer nights   Maybe it was you maybe it was me   But it sure felt right      Maybe it was Memphis   Maybe it was southern summer nights   Maybe it was you maybe it was me   But it sure felt right   Maybe it was you maybe it was me   But it sure felt right   You know it sure felt right...
