Mornings In Memphis

Soon the sun will rise
 Outside the streets are quiet
 Not a car on the road
 Not a soul in sight
 I'll bet it's 90 degrees
 There's no escape from the heat
 The dead of night
 Still climbs up from the street
 I've been up all night
 Drinking alone
 I ain't got no business
 Out on the road
 I love mornings in Memphis
 I could take a stroll
 Sometimes when I'm on my own
 I walk down Beale Street
 Real nice and slow
 Walk up to the river's edge
 Get down under the bridge
 Highway over, out amongst
 Overhead
 I stand all alone in the dark
 Pay no mind to the sky full of stars
 Try not to think
 Just listen to my heart
 Boats passing by
 I'm skipping stones and gettin' high
 I love mornings in Memphis
 ♪
 Long after the midnight
 Before the sunrise
 Tracing fingers in the dust
 The stark and the sober up
 The dawning light
 Stars fade to a clear blue sky
 No sign of life
 Over on the Arkansas side
 Oh, but before I go
 Wait for the sun itself to show
 A new daylight
 Muddy water turned to gold
 Maybe I should just stay in
 I know I'll be back this way again
 I love mornings in Memphis
