justin townes earle - mornings in memphis lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
soon the sun will rise
outside the streets are quiet
not a car on the road
not a soul in sight
i’ll bet it’s ninety degrees
there’s no escape from the heat
the dead of night
still climbs up from the street

[chorus 1]
i’ve been up all night
drinking alone
i ain’t got no business
out on the road
i love mornings in memphis

[verse 2]
i could take a stroll
sometimes when i’m on my own
i walk down beale street
real nice and slow
walk up to the river’s edge
get down under the bridge
highway [?]
[?] overhead
i stand all alone in the dark
pay no mind to the sky full of stars
try not to think
just listen to my heart

[chorus 2]
those boats p-ss in the night
i’m skipping stones and gettin’ high
i love mornings in memphis

[verse 3]
long after the midnight
before the sunrise
tracing fingers in the dust
then startin’ to sober up
dawning light
stars fade to a clear blue sky
no sign of life
over on the arkansas side
oh but before [i go?]
wait for the sun itself to show
a new daylight
muddy water turned to gold

[chorus 3]
maybe i should just stay in
i know i’ll be back this way again
i love mornings in memphis
