Memphis And Me (lyrics are slightly more updated than work tape
Casey, Rogers, Reuter @2012
That July moon was shinin’ bright
She said it’s only two hundred for a night
I’ll do anything you want me to
So I paid her for love twice a week
At Motel 6 near the Mississippi
I knew what we had was true
Memphis and me we got some history
And we’ve both felt blues in that Delta heat
I sold my soul to the devil that summer down on Beale Street
But that’s between yeah that’s between Memphis and me
Well that two hundred dollars turned into free
On that rainy day she moved in with me
Street lights stopped dancing in her eyes
One night she drifted into the dark
Like a blues riff from a slide guitar
And I knew why she didn't say goodbye
Memphis and me we got some history
And we’ve both felt blues in that Delta heat
I sold my soul to the devil that summer down on Beale Street
But that’s between yeah that’s between Memphis and me
When you try to buy love on the banks of the Mississippi
Well the devil he’ll sell ya hell but the misery he’ll throw it in for free
Memphis and me we got some history
And we’ve both felt blues in that Delta heat
I sold my soul to the devil that summer down on Beale Street
But that’s between yeah that’s between Memphis and me
