Bette Midler - Midnight In Memphis lyrics

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.
