Memphis

Way back friday
It wasn't my day
I hung my boots on the factory door
I thumbed a diesel
Headed my way
I made my bed here on the floor

Where the station never closes
Only people there they shut down
Lord I'd never live to see the day
The lights of hope just fade away
And out of the dark night I see

There's a light on in Memphis
There's a party there tonight
Someone left a light on in Memphis
They're singing Elvis must be coming home tonight
They're singing Elvis won't you come home

I've got to know you
I've got to own you
I wanna help you any way that I can
I know you're out there
out there somewhere
But your mystery train keeps rolling on

Until I see the light on in Memphis
We'll keep your candle burnin' bright
Someone left a light on in Memphis
They're singing Elvis must be coming home tonight
They're singing Elvis

Now I'm not one for complaining
But you're not answering my mail
Lord I'd never live to see the day
The lights of hope would fade away
But out of the dark night I see

See the light on in Memphis
Your candle burns in Tennesee
Someone left a light on in Memphis
They're singing Elvis must be coming home tonight
They're singing Elvis must be coming home tonight
