Memphis; The Blues (feat. J.R. Carroll)

[00:12.51] Rain started fallin' on the roof that mornin'
[00:15.14] It was early summertime
[00:17.82] We fogged up the rear window of my '67
[00:21.31] Three-hundred, in-line
[00:23.96] My lungs have been hurtin' and it's likely my liver has taken a lickin' too
[00:29.66] Them Beale Street boys are handy with a clap on four and two
[00:36.35] The thrill is gone so slow and easy, won't you love me tender?
[00:41.71] The way you move's a drug and I am on a life-long bender
[00:47.17] So rest them tired eyes and let your dress fall to the ground
[00:53.02] We're the only ones left who love Otis in this town
[00:59.99] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[01:05.73] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[01:11.12]
[01:24.72] Cracked up skies tried on a couple lives to find the one that fit
[01:30.97] Cold wind comin' and the heat quit runnin' but you keep my candle lit
[01:36.59] Pictures on the wall say it all with the kinda conviction, make a river burn
[01:43.00] You got a skeleton key on a chain around your neck, I got a chain around my heart
[01:49.71] Church bells ringing in the air down the hill from the house where you were born
[01:55.22] I said, "Baby, don't you think we ought to live a little bit before Gabriel blows his horn?"
[02:01.62] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[02:08.10] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[02:12.93]
[02:39.19] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[02:45.36] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[02:51.36] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[02:56.24] I need you like Memphis, the blues
[03:04.61] Yeah, we should just
[03:06.57] Fuck it, yeah, I'm in
[03:07.81]
