| Lyrics |
He's holed up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavenier Hotel
Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell
By days he pulls the trap lines
By night he lives alone
Don't really feel like company it't just him and his fridge
And his phone(CHORUS)
Meet Me In Memphis that's where I'll be
I'm by the river please come back to me
Meet Me In Memphis my wild days are through
And nothing replaces me next to you
He's been there since she ran away
She said, "
She needs some space"
Occasionally she still calls collect>
From some godforsaken place
Then one day a letter came
Too much for a letter please come here instead
Meet Me In Memphis my wild days are through
Still nothing replaces me next to you(INSTRUMENTAL)I know she could break my heart again
But I'm gonna play and I'm gonna win
Where Otis ould play
Da da da dock of the bay
Meet Me In Memphis that's where I'll be
I'm by the river and by the sea(
Oh please)
Meet Me In Memphis my wild days are through
Still nothing replaces me next to you
