[Verse 1]

Mister, you can take me into Little Rock?

I'll buy the coffee and I'll fill your truck

I'll listen all night if you want to talk

Just don't mention Memphis

[Verse 2]

And we can talk about your family

Politics and music and philosophy

Any old subject's alright with me

Just don't mention Memphis

[Chorus]

Or blue eyes and light brown hair

An angel waving to me from the top of the stairs

The hardest thing I did was leave her standing there

So don't mention Memphis

[Verse 3]

Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup

We'll make Texas with a little luck

And I'm hanging with you 'til the sun comes up

So don't mention Memphis

[Chorus]

Or blue eyes and light brown hair

An angel waving to me from the top of the stairs

The hardest thing I did was leave her standing there

So don't mention Memphis

[Outro]

I don't wanna talk about Memphis

And the hardest thing I did was leave my baby there

So don't mention Memphis

I don't wanna talk about Memphis
