"Memphis" lyrics

"Memphis"

Oh yeah

You and me man
We'd come running home from school
Drop the needle on my mama's vinyl
We'd sing along with that felt of Elvis on the wall
We had our own old school soul revival

Yeah I'll be bobbin'
And you'll be jivin'
Across that kitchen floor we go
Socks sliding
Somewhere along the way
We lost track of time yeah
You went your way
And I went mine

Oh I never got to Memphis
No I never got to see Memphis with you
Oh I never got to walk down
Or listen to that dusty Dixie blues, no
No I never got to hear BB playing Lucille
Howling at that Mississippi moon
Oh I never got to Memphis
No I never got to see Memphis with you

You heard you're a happy
With a family of your own
Living just outside of Liverpool, see
Sometimes I wonder if you ever think
About all those crazy yesterday
Where have the years gone my friend

Well I guess we'll never know
'Cause one thing I know for sure
If dreams are made for dreamers
And music's for believe
And Memphis knows
I'm still crying of the blues
For the one thing, for the one thing
That I didn't get to do

Oh I never got to Memphis
No I never got to see Memphis with you
Oh I never got to walk down
Or listen to that dusty Dixie blues, no
No I never got to hear BB playing Lucille
Howling at that Mississippi moon
Oh I never got to Memphis
No I never got to see Memphis with you

I know life's been good to me, it's true
But I know, there's just one thing
That keeps leaving me blue, yeah, yeah

No I never got to hear BB playing Lucille
Howling at that Mississippi moon
Oh I never got to Memphis
No I never got to see Memphis with you
