Memphis
Lyricist:Catie Curtis
My mother cleans Elvis' house Yeah, she and everybody else
Who moved to Memphis for the King She used to work at the Motel 6 Now she gets free guitar picks That's how I learned to play and sing
I've been playing the hotel scene Living out my mother's dreams
Strumming underneath the disco lights All kinds of people come in We got this psychic from Beijing She read my cards right there that night
And then I dreamed that my soul mate Was a motel clerk in Jersey Who has not met me, so why am I in this Hotel in Memphis When I just want to kiss somebody tonight
My mother doesn't seem to mind that Elvis isn't still alive Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com
She just toils in memory She's no hippie, she's no flake She just thinks that it's her fate And who am I to disagree
Everybody's got a heart to follow Everybody's got to make that call
As I look around the hotel scene I'm doing pretty good with my band People come shake my hand But true love is what I need
So I dream about my soul mate Who's a motel clerk in Jersey Who has not met me so why am I in this Hotel in Memphis When I just want to kiss somebody tonight
So I'm gonna take the Greyhound all the way to Jersey I hope you meet me 'cause I don't care if I ever get famous I just want to kiss somebody tonight
