Meet Me In Memphis

Jimmy Buffett

Jimmy Buffett & Mike Utley

He's hold up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavernier Hotel

Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell

By days he pulls the trap lines

By night he lives alone

Don't really feel like company it's just him and his fridge

And his phone



(CHORUS)

Meet Me In Memphis that's where I'll be

I'm by the river please come back to me

Meet Me In Memphis my wild days are through

And nothin' replaces me next to you



He's been there since she ran away

She said, "She needs some space"

Occasionally she still calls collect

From some god forsaken place



Then one day a letter came

Postmarked Tennessee

And the envelope scent

And the postage spent

Well it lit up her old memory



(CHORUS)

Meet Me In Memphis that's what she said

Too much for a letter please come here instead

Meet Me In Memphis my wild days are through

Still nothing replaces me next to you



(INSTRUMENTAL)



I know she could break my heart again

But I'm gonna play and I'm gonna win

Where Otis would play

Da da da dock of the bay



Meet Me In Memphis that's where I'll be

I'm by the river you're by the sea

(Oh please) Meet Me in Memphis my wild days are through

Still nothing replaces me next to you.
