Memphis (Outta My Way) Songtext
We were swimmin' through Memphis, you had a gun in your hand
You said can we pretend this wasn't part of a plan
I wasn't ready to love you, you wasn't ready to stand
You wasn't ready to be your main self-claimed renaissance man
And oh, I can't dry your tears if you don't quit cryin'
And oh, we've been fighting like hell but hell's been fighting harder and harder
Seems to me that we never see the light of day
Honey I want to, but I can't love you
If you won't get the hell outta my way
You said can we pretend this wasn't part of a plan
I wasn't ready to love you, you wasn't ready to stand
You wasn't ready to be your main self-claimed renaissance man
And oh, I can't dry your tears if you don't quit cryin'
And oh, we've been fighting like hell but hell's been fighting harder and harder
Seems to me that we never see the light of day
Honey I want to, but I can't love you
If you won't get the hell outta my way
Outta my way
I heard you been up in Rosine with a regular man
Do you reckon he knows me, or has he heard of my band?
How I wish I could slow things down
I know things now can gеt a little bit stressful sometimеs
Darling just hold me down, there's peace in the sound
If you let yourself live it I find
And honey, oh, I can't dry your tears if you don't quit cryin'
And oh, we've been fighting like hell but hell's been fighting harder and harder
Seems to me that we never see the light of day
Honey I want to, but I can't love you
If you won't get the hell outta my way
Outta my way
I heard you been up in Rosine with a regular man
Do you reckon he knows me, or has he heard of my band?
How I wish I could slow things down
I know things now can gеt a little bit stressful sometimеs
Darling just hold me down, there's peace in the sound
If you let yourself live it I find
And honey, oh, I can't dry your tears if you don't quit cryin'
And oh, we've been fighting like hell but hell's been fighting harder and harder
Seems to me that we never see the light of day
Honey I want to, but I can't love you
If you won't get the hell outta my way
Outta my way
