Memphis In The Meantime

John Hiatt

I got something to say little girl


You might not like my style


But we've been hanging around this town


Just a little too long a while





You say you're gonna get your act together


Gonna take it out on the road


But if I dont get outta here pretty soon


My head's going to explode





Sure I like country music


I like mandolins


But right now I need a telecaster


Through a vibro-lux turned up to ten





CHORUS:


Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby


Memphis in the meantime girl





I need a little shot of that rhythm baby


Mixed up with these country blues


I wanna trade in these ol country boots


For some fine Italian shoes





Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar


We dont need none of that


Just a little dab'll do ya girl


Underneath a pork pie hat





Until hell freezes over


Maybe you can wait that long


But I dont think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever


Record this song





REPEAT CHORUS TWO TIMES





BRIDGE:


Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there


Maybe there's somethin' in the air


Before our upper lips get stiff


Maybe we need us a big ol whiff





If we could just get off-a that beat little girl


Maybe we could find the groove


At least we can get a decent meal


Down at the Rendez-vous





'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord


Girl, it's gonna do me in


I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone


You know sound as sweet as sin





And after we get good and greasy


Baby we can come back home


Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac


And change the message on the cord-a-phone





But...





REPEAT CHORUS
