Mister can you take me into Little Rock
I`ll buy the coffee and I`ll fill your truck
I`ll listen all night if you wanna talk
Just don`t mention Memphis
We can talk about your family
Politics and music and philosophy
Any ol` subject`s all right with me
Just don`t mention Memphis
CHORUS:
Or blue eyes
And light brown hair
An angel wavin` to me from the top of the stairs
The hardest thing I ever did
Was leave her standin` there
So don`t mention Memphis
Pass me the thermos and I`ll fill your cup
We`ll make Texas with a little luck
And I`m hangin` with you `til the sun comes up
So don`t mention Memphis
