Meet Me In Memphis (Album Version) - Jimmy Buffett
Written by：Michael Utl
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 meet me in Memphis
That's where I'll be that's where I'll be
I'm by the river
Please come back to me
Meet me in Memphis
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
Meet me in Memphis
Meet me in Memphis
That's what she said that's what she said
Too much for a letter
Please come here instead
Meet me in Memphis
Meet me in Memphis my wild days are through
Still nothing replaces
Me next to you
Meet me in Memphis
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
Meet me in Memphis
That's where I'll be that's where I'll be
I'm by the river
You're by the sea
Oh please meet me in Memphis
Meet me in Memphis my wild days are through
Still nothing replaces
Me next to you
