Trisha Yearwood - Nothin' 'Bout Memphis Lyrics






Can't believe I'm back here again
Feels like a lifetime and a thousand miles since then
It was just one summer night
But the kind of night you never can forget
And I'm here with my baby and we're driving downtown
He thinks I've never been here, wants to show me around

But he don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town?
All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis

Don't wanna look him in the eye
Scared he might see what I remember of that night
We were dancing on the water
We were singing hallelujah to the stars
And I know that it would hurt him, if he could see my past
He thinks he's the only one who's touched me like that

But he don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town?
All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis

Sweet, sweet Memphis, all the good times we had
Ain't no harm in looking back, no, no, no

He don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis
How could he ever know this was our town?
All he sees is that muddy Mississippi and the ghost of Elvis
But he don't know nothin' 'bout Memphis
Sweet, sweet Memphis

    This has to be one of her best songs, and one of the best country songs. "The ghost of Elvis" this line makes me think of when I was at Graceland.

    Lyrics:

    Can't believe I'm back here again
    Feels like a lifetime and a thousand miles since then
    It was just one summer night but the kind of night you never can forget
    And I'm here with my baby and were driving downtown
    Thinks I've never been here, wants to show me around.

    But he don't know nothing about Memphis
    How could he ever know, this was our town
    All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
    But he don't know nothing about Memphis.

    Don't want to look him in the eye
    Scared he might see what I remember of that night
    We were dancing on the water
    We were singing “hallelujah” to the stars
    And I know it would hurt him, if he could see my past
    He thinks he's the only one who's touched me like that.

    But he don't know nothing about Memphis
    How could he ever know this was our town
    All he sees is that big old muddy river and the ghost of Elvis
    But he don't know nothing about Memphis

    Sweet sweet Memphis…all the good times we had
    Ain't no harm in looking back no, no, no.

    He don't know nothing about Memphis
    How could he ever know this was our town
    All he sees is that mighty Mississippi and the ghost of Elvis
    But he don't know nothing about Memphis
    Sweet sweet Memphis...
