Memphis Rain

She wanted to wait 'till I got home Hated to do it on the phone I could hear her start to cry So I said babe it's alright She said she hoped I understood I just told her it's all good Lit a smoke blew out the flame Stepped out in the Memphis Rain There's a little house she really loved Just off highway 41 Not to far from where we live A real good yard for raising kids I never thought I'd feel alive Working in a 9 to 5 You think of things you could have changed Walking in the Memphis Rain Yeah there's hardly anyone around Now it's really coming down Down, down, down That muddy rivers running high I must be losing track of time I can't feel my legs at all Walked halfway to Arkansas I wonder how long it'd take to go From here to the gulf of Mexico A man could almost go insane Out here in the Memphis Rain Yeah there's hardly anyone around Now it's really coming down Down, down, down She said she hoped I understood I just told her it's all good I lit a smoke blew out the flame And disappeared in the Memphis rain
