Karaoké Memphis in the Meantime John Hiatt

I got somethin' to say little girl

You might not like my style

But we've been hangin' around this town just a little too long a while

You say you're gonna get your act together

Gonna take it out on the road

But if I don't get outta here pretty soon my head's goin' to explode

Sure I like country music and I like mandolins

But right now I need a Telecaster through a Vibro-Lux turned up to ten

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby

Ah hah

Memphis in the meantime girl

I need a little shot of that rhythm baby mixed up with these country blues

I wanna trade in these ol' country boots for some fine Italian shoes

Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar

We don't need none of that

A little dab'll do you girl underneath a pork pie hat

Until hell freezes over

Maybe you can wait that long

But I don't think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever record this song

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl

Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there

Maybe there's somethin' in the air

Before our upper lips get stiff maybe we need us a big ol' whiff

Oh woah

If we could just get off of that beat little girl maybe we could find the groove

At least we can get a decent meal down at the rendez-vous

'Cos one more heartfelt steel guitar chord girl is gonna do me in

I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone

You know sound as sweet as sin

And after we get good and greasy baby we can come back home

Put the cowhorns back on the Cadillac and change the message on the cord-a-phone

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime baby

Let's go to Memphis in the meantime girl

I'm talkin' 'bout Memphis

Ah hah hah hah haw

Ah hah ho haw

I know 'bout Memphis
