Rain started fallin' on the roof that mornin'
It was early summertime
We fogged up the rear window of my '67
Three-hundred, in-line
My lungs have been hurtin' and it's likely
My liver has taken a lickin' too
Them Beale Street boys are handy
With a clap on four and two

The thrill is gone so slow and easy
Won't you love me tender?
The way you move's a drug
And I am on a lifelong bender
So rest them tired eyes
And let your dress fall to the ground
We're the only ones left
Who love Otis in this town

I need you like Memphis the blues
I need you like Memphis the blues

I saw you comin' from a mile away, and knew what I'd been missin'
Felt you touch and lost my mind, I fooled that intention
Left my heart in Tulsa but now I'll find it where you are
If you just stand still while I change my ways, it doesn't have to be so hard
Dreamin' out loud while you smile and run your fingers through my hair
From here to Hell and to Tennessee, I'd follow you anywhere

I need you like Memphis the blues
I need you like Memphis the blues

I need you like Memphis the blues
I need you like Memphis the blues
I need you like Memphis the blues
I need you like Memphis the blues

Fuck, yeah, I'm in
