12 BARS IN MEMPHIS blues

I woke up in Memphis
woke up in Memphis
how did I get here
in downtown Memphis ?
head like a sledge
all nerves on edge
what am I doing
down here in Memphis ?

I hit 12 bars
eyes full of stars
there's too much music
here in my heart
harmonicas
guitars and fuzz
do what it does
down here in Memphis

was I naive?
was I deceived ?
what to believe
down here in Memphis
will I survive?
to grow and thrive?
and be alive
down here in Memphis

New York's too close
Nashville too far
for where I are
12 bars in Memphis
you know the rest
I'll do my best
or get arrested
down here in Memphis

12 bars in Memphis
the first 12 bars
10 million cars
in parking lots
the girls aint cheap
but once a week
get on my freak
down here in Memphis
