American Aquarium - Maybe It Was Memphis Lyrics

American Aquarium Lyrics

"Maybe It Was Memphis"
(originally by Pam Tillis)

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydids singin' like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowin' through a 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 night 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 driftin' on the memory
Think about you on my mama'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

Yeah, it sure felt right
