Memphis

She was seventeen left Arkansas moved here on her own
 After mom's boyfriend and a tornado tore up her home
 She brought her small dog with her but she left behind her old clothes
 She emptied out albums of pictures by the side of the road
 She'd make some money then she would leave
 But Memphis is not what it used to be
 She got a job in Memphis cause she lied 'bout her age
 She said she'd give it a try up on the stage
 At the Platinum Plus Club she was a dancing
 Dancing to the drugs and the music
 If her body was a weapon, she had learned how to use it
 So give her the money if you wanted to see
 Memphis is not what it used to be
 ♪
 She made three thousand a week in that East Memphis club
 'Til the Feds shut it down for running drugs
 Then the money got tight but she's got a solution
 She and some of the girls next summer moving down to Houston
 I asked her what else in town should I see
 She said Memphis is not what it used to be
 It's not what it used to be
