Meet Me in Memphis

All the miles 'tween here and Arkansas
They can't keep me from you
Though your boss and all the bills at home
Might try their damnedest to
Yeah, you won me with your witty jokes
And the sweetness in your smiles
And now all my hopes are tangled up in telephone wires

I've got gas to get to Memphis
I've got cash to get a room
I know the miles add up, darling
But let me spend the night with you
Yeah, it'll be an early morning
It's a damn long way to drive
But won't you meet me in Memphis tonight?

You know I used to light you up
But has our fire begun to fade?
Yeah, is it my imagination, or was it brighter yesterday?
Was it the flicker of a candle reflecting in your eyes?
And darling, all my hopes are tangled up in telephone wires

I've got gas to get to Memphis
I've got cash to get a room
I know the miles add up, darling
But let me spend the night with you
Yeah, it'll be an early morning
It's a damn long way to drive
But won't you meet me in Memphis tonight?

All this distance has your heart worn thin
But I swear it's not too late
We can mend the broken pieces if you just meet me halfway

'Cause I've got gas to get to Memphis
I've got cash to get a room
I know the miles add up, darling
But let me spend the night with you
Yeah, it'll be an early morning
It's a damn long way to drive
But won't you meet me in Memphis tonight?
Yeah, won't you meet me in Memphis tonight?
Oh, won't you meet me in Memphis tonight?
