"Talk Memphis" lyrics
(originally by Jesse Winchester)
Listen to you move your mouth
I'll bet you're from way down South
Don't tell me let me guess
You're from the town I love the best
Talk it, I wish you would
Memphis, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talking Memphis
Man, we talk about some barbecue
We'll talk about the Tigers too
Every little thing you say
Just turns me on like DIA
Won't you talk it, I wish you would
Memphis, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talking Memphis
I bet you bought some blue suede shoes
I bet you know West Memphis too
Cross that bridge on just two wheels
I bet you know how good that feels
Man, talk it, I wish you would
Memphis, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Memphis
Tell me, where were you when Elvis died?
A lot of folks sat and cried
I don't mind telling you
I did some cryin' too
Memphis, I wish you would
Talk it, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talk Memphis
Talk it, alright
Talk it, I wish you would
Talk it, sound so good
High up on the bluff
I can't get enough
Memphis
I'll bet you're from way down South
Don't tell me let me guess
You're from the town I love the best
Talk it, I wish you would
Memphis, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talking Memphis
Man, we talk about some barbecue
We'll talk about the Tigers too
Every little thing you say
Just turns me on like DIA
Won't you talk it, I wish you would
Memphis, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talking Memphis
I bet you bought some blue suede shoes
I bet you know West Memphis too
Cross that bridge on just two wheels
I bet you know how good that feels
Man, talk it, I wish you would
Memphis, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Memphis
Tell me, where were you when Elvis died?
A lot of folks sat and cried
I don't mind telling you
I did some cryin' too
Memphis, I wish you would
Talk it, you sound so good
Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talk Memphis
Talk it, alright
Talk it, I wish you would
Talk it, sound so good
High up on the bluff
I can't get enough
Memphis
