Midnight in Memphis

It's midnight in Memphis
 and all the boys are out tonight.
 Oh, midnight in Memphis,
 but my true love is not in sight.
 The neon's glowing,
 but I just don't see the light.
 I'm following my footsteps
 trying to find myself a friend.
 Oh, baby! Following my footsteps
 trying to see where they might end.
 I'm tryin' to break these blues,
 but I can't even get them to bend.
 Oh, midnight in Memphis.
 Well, ya take me away.
 Midnight in Memphis.
 It's a long, long time
 before the day.
 Burnin' out on Beale Street.
 Can you hear that engine roar?
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
 Burnin' out on Beale Street.
 There's a girl in every door.
 Yeah, you know it don't matter what you got,
 they're asking me for more.
 Play it for me one time, boys.
 I heard the river risin',
 risin' up over my head.
 Yeah, heard the river risin',
 and this is what it said:
 "I don't need no live ones;
 I just take care of the dead."
 Oh, midnight in Memphis.
 Take me, take me away.
 Midnight in Memphis.
 It's a long, long time
 before the day.
 Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in Memphis.
 Midnight in Memphis.
 Midnight in Memphis.
 It's a long, long time
 before the day,
 before the day.
