meet me in memphis

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

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"
