Lyrics:
Memphis
On a dark cold Sunday night
By Tuesday was in Alabam'
Showing people how to do it right
I'm a down and out man
Guess you wonder why I am
I'm
extra cash to pay for college with
And it just so happens I got a lot of it
Spin around the pole while you're doing splits
By the end of the night
Calvin D-c Sims
2:40 PM (11 minutes ago)
to me
Intro: Chere The student and the teacher homie and down here in Memphis Maine I like to welcome you.
Starting out from Ferraday like a runaway bus
Moving north toward Memphis in a cloud of highway dust
Rolling to the rhythm of a sound he never hears
And life is so insane
Look what I became trying to make a name
All my first dates are interrupted by my fame
Because every picture taken is a fan that you
"Gen’lmen, we just havin’ church
Here" Six words which - directed at me and
A fellow soul buff at the Full
Gospel Tabernacle church by it's chuckling
on the City of New Orleans,
Changing cars in Memphis, Tennessee.
Halfway home, and we'll be there by morning,
Through the Mississippi darkness, rolling
And when his engine roared, they called the highway thunder road
Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis Town
The revenuers, they chased him, but they
on the road again
I had a little woman in Memphis
She wanted to be my bride
She said, settle on down, traveling man
You can stay right by my side
I tried so
I was sixteen he was twenty one
Rode with us to Memphis
And poppa woulda shot him if he knew what he'd done
Gypsies tramps and thieves
We'd hear it
And when his engine roared, they called the highway thunder road
Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis Town
The revenuers, they chased him, but they
the skyscrapers in Memphis?
Do you see how they rise like the sun?
And the statues they look just like spacemen
Staring down at everyone
And there's art by the yard
to stop Trillville and Three 6, Hell no
I know by now someone told you about the cracker in Memphis
Three 6 picked up two years ago, the shit was
Forgotten by saviors and caught in the truck driver's lights
It's been buried in Memphis and sold like a dream to your mind
Those who haunt this grassland got
As I was strummin' down the street one day
A man turned to me, would you like to get paid?
I said by who, and he said what
Sorry my boy I don't think
Out of town from Houston and Memphis
And I never gave a fuck and I never did
Fuck with y'all so I kept my distance
Just me and my day-ones
watchin' cable
If i catch fire by mistake
She'll put out my face with a rake
And i shut my mouth before i even breathe
Well i can barely touch you hunny
felt nice
As miles stretched the twilight of the day
Driving up by 55
Mississippi zooming by
Salvation in the cool November air
I'm searching for
a really long year
And your voice is so good to hear
I know that sometimes time can slip through our hands
I could make it to Memphis by sunrise, for
the news
After years of trying
Not just one but two
She was Memphis ol' miss outta my league
Saturday night friend of a friend
Once the fuse was lit
and kick it wit' me for a minute
Y'know what I'm sayin', come and ride wit' ya boy man, Hey!
Y'all ready know what it is, hey,
We gone swing by some
delatory
Still I only see a lot of snares
Just because I triumph as a slaver
Oh yes I did
Brought beauty back to Egypt by the ton
Of this
they're goin' too, where they're comin' from
He'd say that one's from Memphis, bound for Moline
An old '97, she's from New Orleans
From New York
stars
They know who we are (Where we going?) WESTSIDE
Nigga meet me by the bar
[Bridge: ]
Shake it off shake it off take it off
Break it off
