Memphis Sun

Well, how I can remember C.P.'s blue suede shoes
When the king of rock 'n' roll was singin' "Milkcow Blues"
Big John C. had a teenage queen
Jerry Lee was doin' the shakin' thing

And that sun kept shinin' out of Memphis, Tennessee
It was the light of rock 'n' roll and it sure shined bright on me

I spent a lonely weekend down at Folsom Jail
I found true love, hey porter, ring your bell
"Honey Dawn," "Oobie Doobie"
Great balls of fire, woman, I wanna play house with you

Yeah, that sun kept shinin' out of Memphis, Tennessee
It was the light of rock 'n' roll and it sure shined bright on me
Play me some sun, guitar sun

Now we were gettin' raunchy at the high school hop
Gettin' Dixie fried, Ray Vaughn forget the socks
Mystery Train, Lord, it whistle loud and long
That's alright, mama, 'cause she's gone, gone, gone

And that sun kept shinin' out of Memphis, Tennessee
It was the light of rock 'n' roll and it sure shined bright on me
Yeah, it did, y'all

Well now, King A.P., Roy, and Jerry Lee
Big John C. and my friend C.P.
And that sun kept shinin' out of Memphis, Tennessee
It was the light of rock 'n' roll and it sure shined bright on me
