Maybe It Was Memphis – Rob Baird (originally by Pam Tillis)

Lookin’ at you through a misty moonlight Katy did sing like a symphony Porch swing swayin’ like a Tennessee lullaby Melody blowin’ through the willow tree
What was I supposed to do? Standin’ there lookin’ at you A lonely girl so 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 William’s play Heard about you in a country love song Summer nights beauty took my breath away
What was I supposed to do? Sittin’ there lookin’ at you Lonely girl so 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 drifting in the memory Thinkin’ about you on your mama’s front porch swing Talking that way so soft to me
What was I supposed to do? Sittin’ there lookin’ at you Lonely girl so 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 Maybe it was you, maybe it was me But it sure felt right
