[Verse 1] Lookin at you through a misty moonlight Katy did sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowin through the willow tree [PreChorus] What was I supposed to do? Standin there lookin at you A lonely girl so far from home [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Verse 2] Read about you in a Faulkner novel Met you once in a Williams play Heard about you in a country love song Summer nights beauty took my breath away [PreChorus] What was I supposed to do? Sittin there lookin at you Lonely girl so far from home [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Verse 3] Every night now since Ive been back home Lie awake drifting in the memory Thinkin about you on your mamas front porch swing Talking that way so soft to me [PreChorus] What was I supposed to do? Sittin there lookin at you Lonely girl so far from home [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Chorus] Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was southern summer nights Maybe it was you maybe it was me But it sure felt right [Outro] Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
