To Memphis, With Love

You may play the horses
You may even own the race track
You may have enough money
To buy anything you lack
I don't care where you go
And I don't care what you're worth
When it all ends up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

You may high-hat me all the time
You may never go my way
But Mother Earth if layin' for you
And that's a debt you've got to pay
I don't care where you go
And I don't care what you're worth
When it all ends up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

You may be a big shot in the city
You may own your own home town
You may fly your own jet plane
Think you never will come down
I don't care where you go
And I don't care what you're worth
When it all ends up
You got to go back to Mother Earth

In the dark, it's just you and I
There's not a sound and there's not one sigh
Just the beat of my poor heart
In the dark

Now, in the dark I get such a thrill
Well, well, when he places his fingertips upon my lips
And he begs me, "Please be still
In the dark"

But soon this dance will be ending
And you're gonna, you're gonna be missed
Gee, but I'm not pretending
'Cause I swear it's fun, it's fun to be kissed
In the dark, in the dark

Now we will find
Oh, what the rest, what the rest have left behind
Just let them dance 'cause we're gonna find romance
In the dark

I've been down so long
You know down don't bother me

I've been down so long
You know down don't bother me
Gonna take all my troubles
And cast 'em in the deep blue sea

I work hard every day
I come straight home at night
And no matter how hard I try
Y'know you never wanna treat me right

I've been down so long
You know down don't bother me
I'm gonna take all my troubles
And cast 'em in the deep blue sea

I bought you a nice coat for Christmas
And a diamond ring
And now you've got the nerve to tell me
My love don't mean a thing

I've been down so long
'til down don't bother me
I'm gonna cast all my worries
And take 'em to the deep blue sea

I work hard every day
I come straight home at night
And no matter how I try I try
You never wanna treat me right

I've been down so long
You know down don't bother me
I'm gonna cast all my worries
And take 'em to the deep blue sea
