Memphis (Makes Me Sad) Lyrics

I should have taken her into Graceland

I kept on driving right by

I was determined but I missed the sermon

And now I'm here wondering why

I took for granted the fun we were having

Should have indulged her request

Thought I was the man but that wasn't her plan

And I didn't have much time left

There's lots of places in Tennessee

Most of them don't mean nothing to me

Knoxville and Nashville can be a good time

In Chattanooga the women are kind

But Memphis makes me sad

That was the last place I had

A chance to make her mine A chance to make her mine

You know that Elvis made lots of music

It all reminds me of her

Can't listen to it now that we're through it

Lord how I long for a cure

He sang about love, outlaws and hound dogs

Sang about some suede shoes

Since she said goodbye those songs make me cry

And now I'm the king of the blues

There's lots of places in Tennessee

Most of them don't mean nothing to me

Knoxville and Nashville can be a good time

In Chattanooga the women are kind

But Memphis makes me sad

That was the last place I had

A chance to make her mine

A chance to make her mine

Oh Mr. Simon I missed your advice

Go down to Graceland where everything's nice

I'm all alone she's always on my mind

I was the devil that was in disguise

I'll never visit, try to avoid it

Won't even stay for a night

There's folks down on Beale Street

Never will I meet

But I hope they have a nice life

And there's lots of places in Tennessee

Most of them don't mean nothing to me

Knoxville and Nashville can be a good time

In Chattanooga the women are kind

But Memphis makes me sad yeah

Memphis makes me sad

Cause that was the last place I had

A chance to make her mine

A chance to make her mine

A chance to make her mine

A chance to make her mine
