I hitchhiked up to Memphis, a young boy in my prime I thought that big old city would ease my Georgia mind After just one hour, I met a Southern girl She said they call me the Queen of Memphis And then she took me around the world CHORUS I saw stars dancing on the water I heard Elvis singing Blue Suede Shoes That old muddy river was my witness The night I fell in love with the queen of Memphis I woke up the next morning a prisoner of her charms She showed me things Id never seen back there on that farm She set my soul on fire, she completed all my dreams A boy became a man that night in the arms of the Memphis Queen REPEAT CHORUS Just like that old man river she keeps rolling through my mind And you know I wont forget her cause she was one of a kind REPEAT CHORUS
memphis, queen, repeat, hitchhiked, completed
