Maybe It Was Memphis

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight Katydid sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowing through the willow tree What was I supposed to do Standing there lookin' at you A lonely boy far from home Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Read about you in a Faulkner novel Met you once in a Williams play Heard about you in a country love song Summer night beauty took my breath away What was I supposed to do Standing there lookin' at you A lonely boy far from home Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was Southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Every night now since I've been back home Lie awake drifting in my memory Think about you on your mama's front porch swing Talking that way so soft to me What was I supposed to do Standing there lookin' at you A lonely boy far from home Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was Memphis (Memphis) Maybe it was Southern summer nights (Southern summer nights) Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right Oh, you know it sure felt right Oh, maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Memphis But it sure felt right --- Maybe It Was Memphis - Pam Tillis
