Memphis; The Blues (feat. John Moreland) (Explicit) - Zach Bryan/John Moreland

Lyrics by：Zach Bryan/John Moreland

Produced by：Jacquire King/Zach Bryan

Rain started fallin' on the roof that mornin'

It was early summertime

We fogged up the rear window of my '67 three-hundred in-line

My lungs have been hurtin'

And it's likely my liver has taken a lickin' too

Them Beale Street boys are handy

With a clap on four and two

The thrill is gone so slow and easy

Won't you love me tender?

The way you move's a d**g

And I am on a lifelong bender

So rest them tired eyes

And let your dress fall to the ground

We're the only ones left

Who love Otis in this town

I need you like Memphis the blues

I need you like Memphis the blues

Cracked up skies tried on a couple lives

To find the one that fit

Cold wind comin' and the heat quit runnin'

But you keep my candle lit

Pictures on the wall say it all

With the kinda conviction make a river burn

You got a skeleton key on a chain around your neck

I got a chain around my heart

Church bells ringing in the air down the hill

From the house where you were born

I said "Baby don't you think we ought to live a little bit

Before Gabriel blows his horn"

I need you like Memphis the blues

I need you like Memphis the blues

I need you like Memphis the blues

I need you like Memphis the blues

I need you like Memphis the blues

I need you like Memphis the blues
