Meet Me In Memphis by Jimmy Buffett
By: Jimmy Buffet, Michael Utley
1986
He's holed up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavenier Hotel
Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell
By days he pulls the trap line
By night he lives alone
Don't really feel like company it's just him and his fridge and his phone
Chorus:
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
That's where I'll be (that's where I'll be)
I'm by the river (oooh oooh) please come back to me
Meet me in Memphis (meet me in Memphis)
My wild days are through
And nothin' replaces (oooh oooh) me next to you
He's been there since she ran away
She said she needs some space
Occasionally she still calls collect
From some god forsaken place
Then one day a letter came
Postmarked Tennessee
And the envelope scent
And the postage spent
