Lookin’ at you through a misty moonlight
katydid sing like a symphony
porch swing swayin’ like a tennessee lullaby
melody blowing through the willow tree
Chorus:
What was i supposed to do
standing there lookin’ at you
a lonely boy far from home
Maybe it was memphis
maybe it was southern summer nights
maybe it was you maybe it was me
Pam Tillis Maybe It Was Memphis Lyrics
but it sure felt right
Read about you in a faulkner novel
met you once in a williams play
heard about you in a country love song
summer night beauty took my breath away
Chorus
Every night now since i’ve been back home
i lie awake drifting in my memory
i think about you on your momma’s front porch swing
talking that way so soft to me
Chorus
Maybe it was memphis
maybe it was southern summer nights
maybe it was memphis
maybe it was southern summer nights
Chorus
