Memphis Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I blew into town with the driving rain

Running from a girl and a broken heart

Bottles and pills to numb the pain

Been livin’ it up and goin’ at it hard

[Chorus]

Wooah ooooh Memphis, I see in you a brand new start

Ooooh ooooh please let this, take my brokenness apart

The way that it's been going I feel like I'm stumbling in the dark

Ooooh ooooh Memphis, help me turn it around I've come so far

[Verse 2]

Met a girl on Friday night

Somehow she ain't like all the rest

Invited me to the Church of Christ

So maybe I'll go hang out with the blessed

[Chorus]

Wooah ooooh Memphis, I see in you a brand new start

Ooooh ooooh please let this, take my brokenness apart

The way that it's been going I feel like I'm stumbling in the dark

Ooooh ooooh Memphis, help me turn it around I've come so far

[Bridge]

Saturday on Beale Street, my soul don't sing the blues

But all alone I lay me down, and all alone I face the truth

Sunday morning hallelujah, I'm singing through a haze

Sitting here the Lord sees through ya, counting all your change

I know deep inside I'm guilty of all my sinful ways

But the preacher tells me that Jesus took the blame

[Chorus]

Wooah ooooh Memphis, I see in you a brand new start

Ooooh ooooh please let this, take my brokenness apart

The way that it's been going I feel like I'm stumbling in the dark

Ooooh ooooh Memphis, help me turn it around I've come so far

[Out]

Ooooh ooooh Memphis, help me turn it around I've come so far

Ooooh ooooh Memphis, help me turn it around I've come so far
