Lyrics

I woke up in Memphis this morning
rubbed my eyes and brewed me a pot
Stretched a yawn and told my baby
that I sure did dig her a lot
We drove all night from Alabama
while we listen to the news
coming straight from Havana
woke up in Memphis
I sure am thankful for that

Driving hard through the midnight darkness
with a moon and a shining star
she was in and out of sleeping sayin’
honey tell me where we are
I was flying past the mile polls
and thinkin’ bout’ beddin’ down in Muscle Shoals
But she cried out for Memphis
And I wasn’t gonna argue with that

Well I can feel that sweet southern breeze
Hittin’ my face, open my eyes
Take me somewhere I might see
Across the mighty Mississippi
pushing hard, and having fun
Let’s find another one
Before the day is done

Gonna head on down by the river
for a mid-day easy stroll
sunshine blues a little Elvis
and the sound of a sweet ole’ soul
I was thinking bout a long dark ride
through the Mississippi night but we finally arrived
then we woke up in Memphis I sure am thankful for that

Well I can feel that sweet southern breeze
Hittin’ my face, open my eyes
Take me somewhere I might see
Across the mighty Mississippi
Pushing hard, having fun
Let’s find another one
Before the day is done
