Memphis 10 from Relaxed American by Heat Manager

I used to drive past the street address
Where Elvis Presley did “Suspicious Minds”
It used to be a studio
Also where Neil Diamond made “Sweet Caroline”
Now it’s just a tire shop
With a little plaque that they put up
Just to remind you that the good times are so far behind

Oh Memphis, Tennessee!
You gave my whole life to me
But I was so uptight
That it never felt right to call you home

I remember when you woke me up
By tapping on my window pane
It was just before the sun came up
You looked so pretty in the purple mist of early spring

Well last year when the spring arrived
We started waking to our babies cry
It’s funny just to think that that was the same time of day

Oh Memphis, Tennessee!
You gave my whole life to me
But I was so uptight
That it never felt right to call you home
