Catie Curtis - Memphis Lyrics
My mother cleans Elvis's houseYeah she and everybody elseMoved to Memphis for the King.She used to work at the Motel 6Now she gets free guitar picksThat's how I learned to play and sing.I've been playing the hotel sceneLving on my mother's dreamsStrumming underneathe the disco lightsAll kinds of people come inWe've got this psychic from BeijingShe read my cards right there that nightAnd then I dereamed that my soulmateWas a motel clerk in JerseyWho had not met meSo why am I in thisHotel in MemphisWhen I just want to kissSomebody tonightMy mother doesn't seem to mindThat Elvis isn't still aliveShe just toils in memoryShe's no hippie, she's no flakeShe just thinks that it's her fateAnd who am I to disagreeEverybody's got a heart to follow,Everybody's got to make that callAs I look around the hotel sceneI'm doing pretty good with my bandPeople come shake my handBut true love is what i needSo I dream about my soulmateWho's a motel clerk in JerseyWho had not met me so why am I in thisHotel in MemphisWhen I just want to kissSomebody tonightSo I'm gonna teke the GreyhoundAll the way to JerseyI hope you meet me 'causeI don't care if i ever get famousI just want to kiss somebody tonight
