1986
3
He's holed up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavenier Hotel
4
Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell
5
By days he pulls the trap line
6
By night he lives alone
7
Don't really feel like company it's just him and his fridge and his phone
8
Chorus:
9
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
10
That's where I'll be (that's where I'll be)
11
I'm by the river (oooh oooh) please come back to me
12
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
13
My wild days are through
14
And nothin' replaces (oooh oooh) me next to you
15
He's been there since she ran away
16
She said she needs some space
17
Occasionally she still calls collect
18
From some god forsaken place
19
Then one day a letter came
20
Postmarked Tennessee
21
And the envelope scent
22
And the postage spent
23
Well it lit up her old memory
24
Chorus:
25
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
26
That's what she said (that's what she said)
27
Too much for a letter (oooh oooh) please come here instead
28
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
29
My wild days are through
30
Still nothing replaces (oooh oooh) me next to you
31
(horn instrumental)
32
(Meet me in Memphis)
33
I know she could break my heart again
34
But I'm gonna play and I'm gonna win
35
Where Otis would play
36
Da da da dock of the bay
37
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
38
That's where I'll be (that's where I'll be)
39
I'm by the river (oooh oooh) you're by the sea
40
Oh please, meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
41
My wild days are through
42
Still nothing replaces (oooh oooh) me next to you
