Mister, you can take me into Little Rock   I'll buy the coffee and I'll fill your truck   I'll listen all night if you wanna talk   Just don't mention Memphis       We can talk about your family   Politics and music and philosophy   Any ol' subject's all right with me   Just don't mention Memphis       Or blue eyes   And light brown hair   An angel wavin' to me   From the top of the stairs   The hardest thing I did   Was leave her standing there   So don't mention Memphis       Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup   We'll make Texas with a little luck   And I'm hanging with you 'til the sun comes up   So don't mention Memphis       Or blue eyes   And light brown hair   An angel wavin' to me   From the top of the stairs   The hardest thing I did   Was leave her standing there   So don't mention Memphis
