Memphis (Makes Me Sad)

I should have taken her into Graceland I kept on driving right by I was determined but I missed the sermon And now I'm here wondering why I took for granted the fun we were having Should have indulged her request Thought I was the man but that wasn't her plan And I didn't have much time left There's lots of places in Tennessee Most of them don't mean nothing to me Knoxville and Nashville can be a good time In Chattanooga the women are kind But Memphis makes me sad That was the last place I had A chance to make her mine A chance to make her mine You know that Elvis made lots of music It all reminds me of her Can't listen to it now that we're through it Lord how I long for a cure He sang about love, outlaws and hound dogs Sang about some suede shoes Since she said goodbye those songs make me cry And now I'm the king of the blues There's lots of places in Tennessee Most of them don't mean nothing to me Knoxville and Nashville can be a good time In Chattanooga the women are kind But Memphis makes me sad That was the last place I had A chance to make her mine A chance to make her mine Oh Mr. Simon I missed your advice Go down to Graceland where everything's nice I'm all alone she's always on my mind I was the devil that was in disguise I'll never visit, try to avoid it Won't even stay for a night There's folks down on Beale Street Never will I meet But I hope they have a nice life And there's lots of places in Tennessee Most of them don't mean nothing to me Knoxville and Nashville can be a good time In Chattanooga the women are kind But Memphis makes me sad yeah Memphis makes me sad Cause that was the last place I had A chance to make her mine A chance to make her mine A chance to make her mine A chance to make her mine
