[Verse 1] 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 ninety degrees There's no escape from the heat The dead of night Still climbs up from the street
[Chorus 1] I've been up all night Drinking alone I ain't got no business Out on the road I love mornings in Memphis
[Verse 2] 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 [?] [?] 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
[Chorus 2] Those boats pass in the night I'm skipping stones and gettin' high I love mornings in Memphis
[Verse 3] Long after the midnight Before the sunrise Tracing fingers in the dust Then startin' to sober up 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
[Chorus 3] Maybe I should just stay in I know I'll be back this way again I love mornings in MemphisTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
