CAUSE I WAS DOWN IN MEMPHIS

'Cause I was down in Memphis
I wand'red 'round Tennessee (walked)
I stepped down into Georgia (stuck out)
I thought you'd come see me

But I waited there till mornin' (was there)
And you were out all night.
You said you'd seen a "girlfriend",
and I said "(well) Hey well that's alright."

And so I just kept on going,
and lying to myself. ... I know
I can't keep on (it) forever,
Or I'll eventually break myself.

'Cause I was down in Memphis
I walked 'round Tennessee.
I stepped down into Georgia,
I thought you'd come see me.
