Memphis

Way back Friday
It wasn't my day
I hung my boots on the factory door
A thunder diesel
Headed my way
I made my bed here on the floor

Where the station never closes
Only people there shut down
I thought I'd never live to see the day
The lights of home would fade away
Out of the dark night I see

There's a light on in Memphis
There's a party there tonight
Someone left the light on in Memphis
Now Elvis must be coming home tonight
They're singing Elvis to come home

I got to know you
Yeah, I got to own you
I want to help you any old way I can
I know you're out there
Out there somewhere
But your mystery train keeps rolling on
Till I

See the light on in Memphis
Well, keep your candle burning bright
Someone left the light on in Memphis
Now Elvis must be coming home tonight
They're singing Elvis to come home

Well, I've got one for complaining
Sure I answer in my mail
I thought I'd never live to see the day
The lights of you would fade away
Out of the dark night I see

I can see
See the light on in Memphis
Your candle burns in Tennessee
Someone left the light on in Memphis
Well, now Elvis must be coming home tonight
They're singing Elvis
Won't you come on home

There's a light on in Memphis

Won't you come on home now
There's a light on in Memphis
Someone left the light on
Let it burn bright
There's a light on in Memphis
Come on
There's a light on in Memphis
Oh to see, oh to see, oh to see
Yeah, your mama is waiting for you
Get yourself home now
