Mister can you take me into Little Rock

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

I'll listen all night if you wanna talk

Just don't mention Memphis



We can talk about your family

Politics and music and philosophy

Any ol' subject's all right with me

Just don't mention Memphis



CHORUS:



Or blue eyes

And light brown hair

An angel wavin' to me from the top of the stairs

The hardest thing I ever did

Was leave her standin' there

So don't mention Memphis



Pass me the thermos and I'll fill your cup

We'll make Texas with a little luck

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

So don't mention Memphis



(Repeat chorus
