Sister Hazel - Memphis Rain lyrics
[Sister Hazel - Memphis Rain lyrics]
She wanted to wait til I got home
Hated to do it on the phone
I could hear her start to cry
So, I said, "Babe, it's alright"
She said she hoped I understood
I just told her, "It's all good"
Lit a smoke, blew out the flame
Stepped out in the Memphis rain
There's a little house she really loved
Just off highway 41
But not too far from where we live
A real good yard for raising kids
I never thought I'd feel alive
Working in a 9 to 5
You think of things you could have changed
Walking in the Memphis rain
Yeah, thеre's hardly anyone around
Oh, now, it's really coming down
Down, down, down
That muddy rivеr's running high
I must be losing track of time
I can't feel my legs at all
Walked halfway to Arkansas
I wonder how long it'd take to go
From here to the Gulf of Mexico
A man could almost go insane
Out here in the Memphis rain
Yeah, there's hardly anyone around
Oh, now, it's really coming down
Down, down, down
She said she hoped I understood
I just told her, "It's all good"
I lit a smoke, blew out the flame
And disappeared in the Memphis rain
Mmm, yeah
Hated to do it on the phone
I could hear her start to cry
So, I said, "Babe, it's alright"
She said she hoped I understood
I just told her, "It's all good"
Lit a smoke, blew out the flame
Stepped out in the Memphis rain
There's a little house she really loved
Just off highway 41
But not too far from where we live
A real good yard for raising kids
I never thought I'd feel alive
Working in a 9 to 5
You think of things you could have changed
Walking in the Memphis rain
Yeah, thеre's hardly anyone around
Oh, now, it's really coming down
Down, down, down
That muddy rivеr's running high
I must be losing track of time
I can't feel my legs at all
Walked halfway to Arkansas
I wonder how long it'd take to go
From here to the Gulf of Mexico
A man could almost go insane
Out here in the Memphis rain
Yeah, there's hardly anyone around
Oh, now, it's really coming down
Down, down, down
She said she hoped I understood
I just told her, "It's all good"
I lit a smoke, blew out the flame
And disappeared in the Memphis rain
Mmm, yeah
