(Seven Williams, Walter Brandt, Bill Brandt, Cliff Downs)



Passing through Memphis, One night in May

Saw her waiting tables at a Beals Street Blues Café

The band was playing strong but she was center stage



Straight from the delta, off to see the world

This was the big time for a Mississippi girl

Who had a hard life

But she's a southern pearl



Something about her took my breath away

Her love it hit me like a hurricane



Chorus

And she's like



Joy riding in a 57 coup

She's like 2 stepping in my favorite pair of boots

She's sky diving in with out a parachute

And girl I'm falling

I'm fallin into you 



We got to dancing, drinking all night long

She said don't quit on me now boy wont you come along

And we went down by the river, skinny-dipping till the dawn



Spent the morning fishing fried' m up by noon

Spent the evening kissing near the southern moon



Chorus

And it's like



Joy riding in a 57 coup

She's like 2 stepping in my favorite pair of boots

She's sky diving in with out a parachute

And girl I'm falling

I'm fallin into you



Chorus out
