Rob Baird - Maybe It Was Memphis Lyrics

Rob Baird Lyrics

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

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katy did sing like a symphony
Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowin' through the willow tree

What was I supposed to do?
Standin' there lookin' at you
A lonely girl so 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 William's play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer nights beauty took my breath away

What was I supposed to do?
Sittin' there lookin' at you
Lonely girl so 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 drifting in the memory
Thinkin' about you on your mama's front porch swing
Talking that way so soft to me

What was I supposed to do?
Sittin' there lookin' at you
Lonely girl so 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
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right
