memphis in the meantime
Singer:allman, gregg
you might not like my style
we've been hangin' around this town
a little too long this time
you say you're gonna get your act together
if i don't get outta here pretty soon
my head's gonna sure explode
but right now i need a telecaster
let's go to memphis in the meantime
i need a little shot of that rhythm
mixed up with country blues
i wanna trade in these cowboy boots
for some fine italian shoes
forget about the mousse and the hairspray
we don't need none of that
just a little ol' dab'll do ya
you poke it underneath your hat
maybe you can wait that long
but i don't think ronnie milsap's
ever gonna sing this song
let's go to memphis in the meantime
maybe there's nothin' happenin' there
maybe something's in the air
before our upper lips get stiff
we could use just one more whiff
if we could just get off-a beat little girl
maybe we could find the groove
at least we could get ourselves a good meal
'cause one more heartfelt steel guitar
i need to hear a trumpet and the saxophone
you know it sounds sweet as sin
when we get good and greasy
put the cow horns back on the cadillac
and change the message on the cord-a-phone
let's go to memphis in the meantime
let's go to memphis in the meantime
let's go to memphis in the meantime
let's go to memphis in the meantime
