Bette Midler — Midnight in Memphis

It's midnight in Memphis And all the boys are out tonight Oh, midnight in Memphis But my true love is not in sight The neon's glowing But I just don't see the light I'm following my footsteps Trying to find myself a friend Oh, baby! Following my footsteps Trying to see where they might end I'm tryin' to break these blues But I can't even get them to bend Oh, midnight in Memphis Well, ya take me away Midnight in Memphis It's a long, long time Before the day Burnin' out on Beale Street Can you hear that engine roar? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Burnin' out on Beale Street There's a girl in every door Yeah, you know it don't matter what you got They're asking me for more Play it for me one time, boys I heard the river risin' Risin' up over my head Yeah, heard the river risin' And this is what it said: "I don't need no live ones; I just take care of the dead." Oh, midnight in Memphis Take me, take me away Midnight in Memphis It's a long, long time Before the day Whoa, oh, oh, oh, midnight in Memphis Midnight in Memphis Midnight in Memphis It's a long, long time Before the day Before the day
