Zach Bryan - Memphis; The Blues (ft. John Moreland) / Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Rain started fallin' on the roof that morning, it was early wintertime
We fogged up the rear window of my '67 beatdown 305
My lungs have been hurtin' and it's likely my liver has taken a lickin' too

[Refrain]
I need you like Memphis needs the blues
I need you like Memphis needs the blues

[Verse 2]
So come down from your mountain, won't you come down from your high
Rest up in this bed and tell the dockhand boys goodbye
Sleep them tired eyes and let your dress fall to the ground
We're the only ones left who love Otis in this town

[Refrain]
I need you likе Memphis needs the blues
I need you likе Memphis needs the blues

[Outro]
I need you like Memphis needs the blues

[Verse: John Moreland]
The pictures on the wall say it all with the kind of conviction
Make a river part
You got a skeleton key on a chain around your neck
I got a chain around my heart
Church bells ringing in the air down the hill
From the house where you were born
You said, "Baby, don't you think we oughta live a little bit
Before Gabriel blows his horn?"

[Refrain: John Moreland]
I need you like Memphis the blues
I need you like Memphis the blues
