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.
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
Can you hear that engine roar?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Runnin' down on Beale Street.
There's a girl in every door.
Yeah, 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.
