Verse 1
Wheels dragging through the morning heat
Pavement feels like iron under my shoes
Ten dollars left in a tattered coat
Walking fast past the shuttered shops
Pre-Chorus
The air is thick enough to chew
Clouds are gray
The sky is turning blue
I’m here to stay
Chorus
Memphis got a hold on me
Memphis won't let me be
Rhythm in the river mud
Singing in my very blood
Memphis got a hold on me
Verse 2
Stumbled down to the water edge
Barges moving slow like a tired dream
Spoke to a man on a wooden bench
He just laughed and shook his head
Pre-Chorus
The air is thick enough to chew
Clouds are gray
The sky is turning blue
I’m here to stay
Chorus
Memphis got a hold on me
Memphis won't let me be
Rhythm in the river mud
Singing in my very blood
Memphis got a hold on me
Bridge
I came for the sound
I came for the soul
I came to get found
Under the weight of it all
Chorus
Memphis got a hold on me
Memphis won't let me be
Rhythm in the river mud
Singing in my very blood
Memphis got a hold on me
Post-Chorus
Holding me tight
All through the night
Memphis morning
Memphis light
