Never Been to Memphis Blues
Dan Johnson
© 2010-May
 

I been to Nashville,
even went up to Capitol Hill,
once I went to New... York... City,
rubbed myself in all its gritty…sins and so on…
with all of this I been everywhere, way of life,
I had to buy a new pair o’ Blue suede shoes,
that’s why I get lowly down, 

a sad songs a playin’ inside my head,
guess I’ll be goin’,

I hear the voice of Marc Cohn, 
I’m leavin’ now, ‘cause I got those
never been to Memphis blues.

No more need be added or said, Dan, this stands fine and singular.

Very, very, nicely done. You know the verse could pass for lyrics. And with music I think it would sound great too.


GOD BLESS YOU
