Lyrics
SITTIN PICKIN THIS HERE GUITAR
AND I?M THINKIN WISHIN I WENT OUT TO THAT BAR
BUT I JUST SAT THERE IN THE BIG CHAIR
ALL COZY AND WARM I WATCHED A MOVIE ON THE TV
I SEEN ONCE OR TWICE BEFORE
WELL IT?S 10 IN THE MORNIN IN MEMPHIS
I?M WATCHIN THE CARS ROLL ON BY
AND THERE?S A TRAIN THAT PASSES EVERY 10 MINUTES
AND I CAN FEEL THE ELECTRICITY COMIN OFF THE POWER LINES
SHOULD I GO INSIDE IT?S GETTIN WAY TOO COLD
BUT IT?S SO HOT THERE LORD I SWEAR THE THERMOSTAT?S AT 104
THAT DOG?S BEEN BARKIN ALL MORNIN
AND THERE?S A PLANE FLYIN UP ABOVE
IT?S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I FELL TOO DEEP IN LOVE
WELL IT?S 10 IN THE MORNIN IN MEMPHIS
I?M WATCHIN THE CARS ROLL ON BY
AND THERE?S A TRAIN THAT PASSES EVERY 10 MINUTES
AND I CAN FEEL THE ELECTRICITY COMIN OFF THE POWER LINES
SHIFTIN BRAIN WAVES IN MY MIND
