Memphis & 53rd by Minus The Bear
Memphis & 53rd lyrics
�Come on man,� she said,
�We have to leave this town.
I can�t stand another day without the rain.�
I said, �We�ll leave now, you can pack our things,
let me get the bill, and I can make it straight.�
It was same as yesterday.
We�d been gone
and the miles stretched down the long road,
we moved as fast as we could.
Through the heat of the desert
and cruelty of that Buick�s seat
just to keep on.
That night we laid on the floor of the desert
but I could barely sleep, yeah, I had this dream:
There was a man in a black car
with a man in the back seat
and I woke up in a cold sweat
with her lying next to me.
We sat on the corner of Memphis and 53rd.
As they filled the tank we had a drink.
She whispered, �Let�s get moving.�
The next night we laid on the floor of the desert
but I still couldn�t sleep.
There was a man in a black car
with a man in the backseat
and I�d wake up in a cold sweat
with her lying next to me.
