Can't believe I'm back here again
Feels like a lifetime
And a thousand miles since then
It was just one summer night
But the kind of night you never can forget
And I'm here with my baby
And we're driving downtown
He thinks I've never been here
Wants to show me around

But he don't know nothing about Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town
All he sees is that big old muddy river
And the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothing about Memphis

Don't want to look him in the eye scared
He might see
What I remember of that night
We we're dancing on the water
We were singing "hallelujah" to the stars
And I know it would hurt him
If he could see my past

He thinks he's the only one
Who's touched me like that

But he don't know nothing about Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town
All he sees is that big old muddy river
And the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothing about Memphis

Sweet sweet Memphis
All the good times we had
Ain't no harm in looking back no no no

He don't know nothing about Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town
All he sees is that mighty Mississippi
And the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothing about Memphis
Sweet sweet Memphis
