The sun went down like a curtain   Memphis looks bigger at night   All the tatooed boys in uniform   Step in and out of the light      She bought me good whiskey in Memphis   She bought supper and she paid for the room   And as best as I can remember   She paid dearly for loving me too      She said hey don't I know you   Now ain't you the one   The one with the guitar boys   And all them sad songs   About men in the rain   Did you ever miss a plain   In Memphis      We laughed at the strangers we were in the bed   Two cigarettes lit up the room   Like two backseat lovers can't wait to get started   Knowing everything's over too soon      Now Memphis ain't bad in the morning   Good coffee well it's just hard to find   But let me suggest that you never leave Memphis   With anything on your mind
