When I am gone, I know the waiting Gets to you It's like the world stopped turning You're frozen, no one seems to notice The absence of the wind I know you were only It's the kind only I feel out here I don't wanna alone in Memphis I don't wanna alone in New Orleans I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels Dirty sheets and hourly rigs I just wanna put the pedal to the floor Burn up the stage like an old troubadour I wanna get stoned But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore And I've been down In Mississippi river towns For far too long There's something about the night life Something about this bar There's something in the music The brass, the drum beat like a heart It reminds of your eyes and cold black hair I am growing ever lonelier out here I don't wanna alone in Memphis I don't wanna alone in New Orleans I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels Dirty sheets and hourly rigs I just wanna put the pedal to the floor Burn up the stage like an old troubadour I wanna get stoned But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore I don't wanna be alone in Memphis I don't wanna be alone in New Orleans I don't wanna dwell in cheap motels Dirty sheets and hourly rigs I just wanna put the pedal to the floor Burn up the stage like an old troubadour I wanna get stoned But I don't wanna be alone in Memphis anymore
