Maybe It Was Memphis – American Aquarium (originally by Pam Tillis)
By
Lookin’ at you through a misty moonlight Katydids singin’ like a symphony Porch swing swayin’ like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowin’ through a willow tree
What was I supposed to do? Standin’ there lookin’ at you A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Read about you in a Faulkner novel Met you once in a Williams play Heard about you in a country love song Summer night beauty took my breath away
What was I supposed to do? Standin’ there lookin’ at you A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Every night now since I’ve been back home Lie awake driftin’ on the memory Think about you on my mama’s front porch swing Talking that way so soft to me
What was I supposed to do? Standin’ there lookin’ at you A lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Maybe it was Memphis Maybe it was Southern summer nights Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
