Memphis Lives In Me

Lyricist:David Bryan, Joe Dipietro

There's a town that I call home
Where all the streets are paved with soul

Down on Beale, there's a honky-tonk bar
Hear the wail of a blues guitar
Have a beer, drop a dime in a blind man's jar

The blues sing softly in the air
Like a Sunday morning prayer
Just one more drink and you'll see God everywhere

Like a sad old melody
Tears you up but sets you free
That's how Memphis lives in me

There comes a time when muddy waters run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend who always stands by me, yeah
Memphis knows me, Memphis shows me
How this life just has to be

I couldn't even try

To run away and say goodbye
Here I was born and here is where I'll die

Just a man from Tennessee
Can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives in me

There comes a time when muddy waters run rough
There comes a point when a man has had enough
Like a friend who always stands by me, yeah
Memphis knows me, Memphis shows me
How this life just has to be

I couldn't even try
To run away and say goodbye
Here I was born and here is where I'll die

Just a man from Tennessee
Can't be what I can't be
All I know is Memphis lives
All I know is Memphis gives
All I know is Memphis lives in me
