[MONTY]
Last time I came to Memphis
All it took was two beers
Had a girl on her back
Her feet up by my ears
Hmm-mm, hmm-mm

I like the kind of girlfriends
You pick up in a bar
Who know what to make of the promises
Barroom promises are
Hmm-mm

Some barbecue, a couple'a shots
Nobody asking no one's thoughts
Someone who don't give a damn:
That's what I come to Memphis for
That's all I want, and nothin' more
So here I am
The open door

I ain't a boy in the skin of a man
I'm more the steam that you let off
The Roman candle you buy by the road
That you can't wait to set off
The truth is never so pat
Try and wrap your mind around that
Last time I came to Memphis
Had this girl, kicked her out
Then went back for the waitress
That chick could shout

That's why I come to Memphis
That's what Memphis is for
If you come with a pulse
Then you're going to score

Some smokin' babes, a couple'a shots
Nobody asking no one's thoughts
That's all they get, they know the scam
You know what, they don't give a damn

So here I am
And so are you
You give a damn
So what to do?
Here I am
Here I am
