Alone in Memphis

When I am gone, I know the waiting
 Gets to you
 It's like the world stopped turning
 You're frozen, no one seems to notice
 The absence of the wind
 I know you were only
 It's the kind only I feel out here
 I don't wanna alone in Memphis
 I don't wanna alone in New Orleans
 I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels
 Dirty sheets and hourly rigs
 I just wanna put the pedal to the floor
 Burn up the stage like an old troubadour
 I wanna get stoned
 But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
 And I've been down
 In Mississippi river towns
 For far too long
 There's something about the night life
 Something about this bar
 There's something in the music
 The brass, the drum beat like a heart
 It reminds of your eyes and cold black hair
 I am growing ever lonelier out here
 I don't wanna alone in Memphis
 I don't wanna alone in New Orleans
 I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels
 Dirty sheets and hourly rigs
 I just wanna put the pedal to the floor
 Burn up the stage like an old troubadour
 I wanna get stoned
 But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
 I don't wanna be alone in Memphis
 I don't wanna be alone in New Orleans
 I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels
 Dirty sheets and hourly rigs
 I just wanna put the pedal to the floor
 Burn up the stage like an old troubadour
 I wanna get stoned
 But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
