Lyrics

never left the state of Texas
till I turned 21
I took myself and my daddy's wheel
and I left there on the run

raging fire down in my soul
see what I had to see
... dead eyes
and my old guitar
when I reached Tennessee

Memphis after midnight
and the blues down on Beale Street
ten southern ladies
make your heart fall at their feet
you ain't got a chance boy
once you heard the beat
Memphis after midnight
and the blue down on Beale Street

the place was loud and the women fine
all just a little wild
I knew that once
I was out of doubt
it would just ride from style

sit there on the corner
tune-up begain to play
my hat filled up with money
and I'm still here today

Memphis after midnight
and the blues down on Beale Street
ten southern ladies
make your heart fall at their feet
you ain't got a chance boy
once you heard the beat
Memphis after midnight
and the blues down on Beale Street

Memphis after midnight
and the blues down on Beale Street
ten southern ladies
make your heart fall at their feet
you ain't got a chance boy
once you heard the beat
Memphis after midnight
and the blues down on Beale Street

Memphis after midnight
and the blues down on Beale Street
