Charlie Wood - To Memphis, With Love Lyrics

Well, we both always knew
You had big things to do
And some important people to see

And you know there's no way
I could ask you to stay
Cause there's nothing here for you but me

Hear that train whistle blowing
Babe, you better get going
It's the best thing, when push comes to shove

But wherever you roam
Write a postcard back home
And sign it to Memphis, with love

Muddy river is flowing, the
Sun's sinking low and I'm
Throwing back bourbon and sour

Let that cool bitter-sweetness
Sooth my incompleteness
And help me feel whole for an hour

In my home-away bar
The blue sting of guitar
Waves of organ rebaptize my brain

But sweet music and hard drinking
Can't stop me from thinking
Bout you, fast asleep on that train

Now the moon's shining down
On some far away town
And you're fixing to start fitting in

And you're feeling good knowing
You've got where you're going
But don't you forget where you've been

Here cicadas are whining
And lightning bugs shining
And a mirror of stars up above

Sing a song to remind you
Help this soul-searcher find you
Dedicate it, To Memphis, with love.

Yeah, and sing one for me
You know where I'll be
Dedicate it, To Memphis, with love.
