Maybe It Was Memphis

                                  Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight

Katydid sing like a symphony

Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby

Melody blowing through the willow tree



[Chorus]

What was I supposed to do

Standing there lookin' at you

A lonely boy far from home



Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was Southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right



Read about you in a Faulkner novel

Met you once in a Williams play

Heard about you in a country love song

Summer night beauty took my breath away



[Chorus]



Every night now since I've been back home

I lie awake drifting in my memory

I think about you on your momma's front porch swing

Talking that way so soft to me



[Chorus]



Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was Southern summer nights

Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was Southern summer nights



[Chorus]
