Memphis on the River

You try so hard to be a mystery, a lady never shows her cards
 The words you speak say you love me, but the tone of your voice says it's hard
 Love me to pieces, you left me speechless
 I'm fighting fair, but baby I know your weakness
 So let's go to Memphis on the river at that special place we know
 You can wear your emerald dress that makes your red hair glow
 We'll drink whiskey mixed with moonlight like the water's steady flow
 Memphis on the river, that's where I wanna go
 I don't pretend to have the answers, as if the questions weren't enough
 But let's just say the more you share, beggin' me to call your bluff
 It's just six o'clock, baby, don't you stop
 Leave Nashville now, and I'll leave Little Rock
 We'll go to Memphis on the river at that special place we know
 You can wear your emerald dress that makes your red hair glow
 We'll drink whiskey mixed with moonlight like the water's steady flow
 Memphis on the river, that's where I wanna go
 Lovin' soothes our hearts, like slow heat in the dark
 With an old song playing, that echoes just what I'm saying, babe
 Memphis on the river at that special place we know
 You can wear your emerald dress that makes your red hair glow
 We'll drink whiskey mixed with moonlight like the water's steady flow
 Memphis on the river, that's where I wanna go
 We're goin' to Memphis on the river (we're goin' to Memphis on the river)
 Go to Memphis on the river, child
 Memphis on the river, baby, river, baby
 Come on, let's go, it won't take long (come on)
 Meet me down in Memphis
