Memphis, Pt. 2 (From a Tiny Desk)

from From a Tiny Desk by Henry Luther

lyrics

I ended up in Memphis
On that Tennessee line
I was looking for forgiveness
I was high on the wine

I was in the wrong
I was doing things that I should've never done
I was in the wrong
I was living fast and I was living for the fun

I'd rolled in from Carolina
The night before the last
Tryna burn through half my money
Tryna outrun the past

I was in the wrong
I was doing things that I should've never done
I was in the wrong
I was living fast and living for the fun

Ain't it funny how we try to change
Things that never change?
Ain't it funny how
It all stays the same?

In a broke down Monte Carlo
Head on the wheel
I locked my Draco in the car trunk
And I headed out towards Beale

I was in the wrong
I was doing things I should've never done
I was in the wrong
I was living fast and I was living for the fun

Ain't it funny how we try to change
The things that never change?
Ain't it funny how
It all stays the same?
