I tried to forget
The tattoos on her skin
The way I winced to say
I will see you but I don't know when
The future is hard to predict
I never thought it'd be the bass pro shops
And 15 minutes in Memphis
I was on the road
To Nashville Tennessee
I spent the night in Little Rock
Got up early
Thinking of barbecue and little else
Oh, beans, biscuits
And 15 minutes in Memphis
Frankly the details
Have all but swam away
I remember the sturgeon pool
And thinking she said
Something about diamonds
Yeah, diamonds on the soles of her shoes
Her smile her dress
And 15 minutes in Memphis
Sometimes the clock
Has terrible timing
I was standing in line
Her face so close to mine
I had to split
To get on stage and sing about it
I wish I'd known it'd be the last time
Oh, 15 minutes in Memphis
You read about it
You see it on TV
You hope the day will come
When you get down on one knee
And know for sure
But I don't believe that shit anymore
And when I think of a kiss
I think of 15 minutes in Memphis
Oh, when I think of a kiss
I think of 15 minutes in Memphis
Yeah, when I think of a kiss
I think of
