Talk Memphis Songtext
von Jesse Winchester

Listen to you move your mouth
I bet you come from way down south
Now don′t tell me, let me guess
You're from the town that I love best

Talk Memphis, I wish you would
Talk Memphis, you sound so good
Talk Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can′t get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talk Memphis, oh yeah, talk Memphis

Now let's discuss some barbecue
We'll talk about the Tigers, too
Every little sweet thing that you say
Just turns me on like D-I-A


Talk Memphis, I wish you would
Talk Memphis, you sound so good
Talk Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can′t get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talk Memphis, oh yeah, talk Memphis

I bet you bought some new suede shoes
I bet you know West Memphis, too
Crossed that bridge on just two wheels
I bet you know how good that feels

Talk Memphis, I wish you would
Talk Memphis, you sound so good
Talk Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can′t get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talk Memphis, oh please, talk Memphis

Talk Memphis, I wish you would
Talk Memphis, you sound so good
Talk Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talk Memphis, oh yeah, talk Memphis


Where were you when Elvis died?
A lot of folks sat and cried
Now I don′t mind telling you
That I did a little crying, too

Talk Memphis, I wish you would
Talk Memphis, you sound so good
Talk Memphis, high on the bluff
I swear I can't get enough
Listening to you talk that stuff
Talk Memphis, oh please, talk Memphis

Talk Memphis, I wish you would
Talk Memphis, you sound so good
Talk Memphis, high on the bluff

Talk Memphis, and I can′t get enough
Talk Memphis, talk Memphis
Talk Memphis, talk Memphis
Talk Memphis, oh, talk Memphis, yeah
Talk Memphis, I wish you would

Talk Memphis, 'cause you sound so good
Talk Memphis, and I can′t get enough
Talk Memphis, oh, high on the bluff
Talk Memphis, talk Memphis, talk Memphis
