All alone on a Memphis afternoon
I've been waitin' for
this storm to pass
Gonna clear a path and you can kiss my ass, goodbye
I walk the streets where Elvis lived
But they ain't never gonna crown the king
And I never felt that broken hearted
I left before things ever got started
[Chorus]
They got me on a riverboat driftin' down
Oh muddy water get me out of town
To that sweet Louisiana sound
Underneath a neon light
Another ghost down Beal street tonight
I ain't out to hurt nobody
But I played hand I lost all my money
They've got the dogs out after me
They're diggin' in the trash but there's no scent of me
[Chorus]
Party boys out on Bourbon streets
Sweepin' them young girls right off of their feet
They got those love tatoos
Across their heart
They've been in Mardi Gras
Turn the jukebox loud as it can go
Pack'em inside this our last show
[Chorus: x2]
Driftin' Louisiana sound
Driftin' down sweet Louisiana sound
Lookin' out from a hotel room All alone on a Memphis afternoon I've been waitin' for this storm to pass Gonna clear a path and you can kiss my ass, goodbye I walk the streets where Elvis lived But they ain't never gonna crown the king And I never felt that broken hearted I left before things ever got started [Chorus] They got me on a riverboat driftin' down Oh muddy water get me out of town To that sweet Louisiana sound Underneath a neon light Another ghost down Beal street tonight I ain't out to hurt nobody But I played hand I lost all my money They've got the dogs out after me They're diggin' in the trash but there's no scent of me [Chorus] Party boys out on Bourbon streets Sweepin' them young girls right off of their feet They got those love tatoos Across their heart They've been in Mardi Gras Turn the jukebox loud as it can go Pack'em inside this our last show [Chorus: x2] Driftin' Louisiana sound Driftin' down sweet Louisiana sound Explain Request ×
