Story Behind The Song
I consider a friend of mine to be a "fixer" in the fact that she brings on people's problems into her own life. The song is not directly about her habits and actions, but is inspired by her actions.

Lyrics
(Chorus)
Oh, I?m looking for Ms. Memphis
Are you looking for me, too?
Oh, I?m looking for Ms. Memphis
I need you to find me fast and soon
(Verse 1)
I?ve heard the stories of the famous Ms. Memphis
She?ll find you when you?re down and lend her healing hand
Oh, I need her now but I do not know her number
Will she part the great Atlantic and travel distant land?
(Pre-chorus)
Will I be one of her survivors?
How will she ever know I need her?
Will my name be on her list?
The circled one for her to fix
(Chorus)
(Verse 2)
Some have called her Jesus; some have called her savior
Don?t care if they called her satan; I need her problem solvin?
I hear she heals the blind and walks with those who can not
But I don?t have time to sit and wait for her to come ?a calling
