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 were driving downtown

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 were 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
