American Aquarium - Maybe It Was Memphis lyrics

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight
Katydid 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 looking 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

I read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard 'bout you in a country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away

What was I supposed to do
Standin' there looking 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 mе
But it sure felt right

Maybe it was Mеmphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Every night now since I been back home
Lie awake driftin' on a memory
Think about you on my
Mama's front porch swing
Talkin' that way, so soft to me

What was I supposed to do
Standin' there looking 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
