Greetings From Memphis
Walk the streets by the night
In a strange groaning city..
Sirens wail and lights are turnin' on and off
A lot of people around' are goin' on
I keep on walkin' through the buildings
The moon's takin' a ride upon the mississippi
Come down the river, streamboats across the side
Suddenly, I hear some playin' comin' from Beale st
So I run out of the park, I hope Tom Lee won't matter
So I get on the corner, Second and Beale
Wide open doors in front of me
band's on a break, so I pick up the guitar
And start playin' for a while..
Greetings From Memphis...
I said, Greetings From Memphis...
---
Early in the morning, blue sky comin' in
Birds seems like burning in the gathering sun
I take a walk back down Main Street
Light up a cigarette,
and keep on walkin' way on the blues
Greetings From Memphis..
