rosie flores - it came from memphis lyrics

[verse 1]
independence day, 1954
nothin’ goin’ on behind the green door
the whole town’s quiet, n0body on the street
the sidewalk’s so hot that it’ll burn your feet
ouch

[verse 2]
a revelation’s comin’
we didn’t have a clue
between marshall and manassas
down on union avenue
the sound’s so alarmin’ it’ll stop the clock
it knocked us sideways like an electric shock

[chorus]
he came from memphis
wearin’ rock and roll shoes
the wayward son of the hillbilly blues
faster than a heartbeat
hotter than sin
louder than a stick of nitroglycerine
hе came from memphis
came from mеmphis on a sunny afternoon

[instrumental break]
[verse 3]
well it’s alright, mama, you can’t do a thing
turn up the radio and let that sweet voice sing
gonna blow outta town like a runaway train
this whole world ain’t never gonna be the same

[chorus]
he came from memphis
wearin’ rock and roll shoes
the wayward son of the hillbilly blues
faster than a heartbeat
hotter than sin
louder than a stick of nitroglycerine
he came from memphis
wearin’ rock and roll shoes
the wayward son of the hillbilly blues
faster than a heartbeat
hotter than sin
louder than a stick of nitroglycerine
he came from memphis
yeah
yeah, he came from memphis, tennessee

[interlude]
let’s always remember carl perkins
jerry lee
sonny burgess
scotty moore
johnny cash
charlie rich
whoa, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
all those sweet boys came from memphis
[instrumental outro]
