Shy Songs with Memphis in them

Rolling Stones - Honkey Tonk Woman



I met a gin soaked bar room queen in Memphis
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind.

It's the hoooooooowooooooooooonky tonk women
Gimme, gimme, gimme the honky tonk blues.

Default Talking Heads - Fear of Music - 04 - Cities

...Did I forget to mention, forget to mention Memphis?
Home of Elvis and the ancient Greeks
What do I smell? I smell home cooking
It's only the river, it's only the river.

I'm checkin'em out
I'm checkin'em out
I got it figured out
I got it figured out
There's good points and bad points
Find a city
Find myself a city to live in.

Who else but Chuck Berry....

Memphis Tennessee


Long distance information, give me Memphis Tennessee
Help me find the party trying to get in touch with me
She could not leave her number, but I know who placed the call
'Cause my uncle took the message and he wrote it on the wall

Help me, information, get in touch with my Marie
She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis Tennessee
Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge
Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Help me, information, more than that I cannot add
Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did not agree
And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

Last time I saw Marie she's waving me good-bye
With hurry home drops on her cheek that trickled from her eye
Marie is only six years old, information please
Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee

U2 - Pride (In the Name of Love)

...Early morning, April 4
Shot rings out in the Memphis sky
Free at last, they took your life
They could not take your pride...



Creedence Clearwater Revival - Travelin' Band

...737 comin' out of the sky
Won't you take me down to Memphis on a midnight ride
I wanna move
Playin' in a travelin' band...


And

Proud Mary (which also contains a previous city)

...Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of (something?) down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen...

"This is an old Memphis tune" Bob Seger exclaims, as he starts the song "Trying to live my life without you babe"

I used to smoke 5 packs of ciggarettes a day
It was the hardest thing to put them away
I drank four, five bottles of wine
I kept glass in my hand all the time

Breaking those habits was hard to do
But nothing compared to the changes, that you put me through

Tryin’ to live my life without you babe
Is the hardest thing I’ll ever do
Try forget the love we once shared
It’s the hardest burden I’ll ever bear
I had the worst reputation in town
For chasing all the women around
I thought changing my way of living was hard to do
But it’s nothing compared to the changes, that you put me through

Eight miles outta Memphis and I got no spare
Eight miles straight up downtown somewhere

Memphis - Joe Jackson

Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?
Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?

I got to get away, study my geography
I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
I used to see the light, now it's all a mystery
I used to feel the beat, now I feel a million miles from...

Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?
Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?

I used dirty words never too excessively
But saying "rock&roll" never seemed so bad to me
I dare said it in hip and happy company
I was in and out in a second on my way to...

Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?
Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?

Memphis, so where the hell is Memphis?

I had a one-way ticket and a little radio
I turned it on, heard the sound from twenty years ago
Somebody smiled and said, that's the only way to go
He died at twenty-one, now nobody's innocent in...

Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?
Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?

Somebody turned around, said, I got to disagree
He wrote that sort of turn people out to anarchy
He made them think about Marlon Brando on TV
I guess they still went down against anything they got in...

Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?
Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?

I met a wise old man, he had longer hair than me
He said, Memphis is nothing like it used to be
A hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemetry
I felt a sudden chill, now I'm not so sure about...

Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?
Memphis - Where the hell is Memphis?

I'm on a lonesome train on a lonesome track
I think I'll jump right off, head for home, double back
And though I'm better now I know that no-one knows the facts
I'm gonna start again, forget I ever heard about...
