Lyrics
Home of the blues is where I live
Trapped inside these lonely walls that don?t forget
Surrounded by memories
Your goodbye haunts me like a Beal Street melody
And I?ve done everything but get down on my knees
And if my tears will set this ghost inside me free
I?m gonna cry like Memphis
I?m going three times under
I?m gonna drown my sorrows
In tears that rill like thunder
Till I can find the strength
Till I can carry on
I?m gonna cry like Memphis
When they heard the King was gone
"Love Me Tender" cuts through the dark
Coming from an open window of a passing car
And in that moment, oh I believe
I can almost feel your body lying next to me
But one heart beating slowly brings me back around
I know you?re gone and I know I?m breaking down
And when I break down
I?m gonna cry like Memphis
I?m going three times under
I?m gonna drown my sorrows
In tears that rill like thunder
Till I can find the strength
Till I can carry on
I?m gonna cry like Memphis
When they heard the King was gone
Oh baby
Till I can find the strength
Till I can carry on
I?m gonna cry like Memphis
When they heard the King was gone
Oh
I'm gonna cry
I'm gonna cry
Cry like Memphis
Oh baby
