owen temple - memphis lyrics
she was seventeen left arkansas moved here on her own
after mom’s boyfriend and a tornado tore up her home
she brought her small dog with her but she left behind her old clothes
she emptied out alb-ms of pictures by the side of the road
she’d make some money then she would leave
but memphis is not what it used to be
she got a job in memphis cause she lied ’bout her age
said she’d give it a try up on the stage
at the platinum plus club she was a dancing, dancing to the drugs and the music
if her body was a weapon, she had learned how to use it
so give her the money if you wanted to see
memphis is not what it used to be
she made three thousand a week in that east memphis club
til’ the fed’s shut it down for running drugs
then the money got tight but she’s got a solution
she and some of the girls next summer moving down to houston
i asked her what else in town should i see
she said memphis is not what it used to be
