Memphis In The Meantime Lyrics by John Hiatt

Memphis In The Meantime Lyrics

    I got something to say little girl
    You might not like my style
    But we've been hanging around this town
    Just a little too long a while

    You say you're gonna get your act together
    Gonna take it out on the road
    But if i dont get outta here pretty soon
    My head's going to explode

    Sure i like country music
    I like mandolins
    But right now i need a telecaster
    Through a vibro-lux turned up to ten

    Chorus:
    Lets go to memphis in the meantime baby
    Memphis in the meantime girl

    I need a little shot of that rhythm baby
    Mixed up with these country blues
    I wanna trade in these ol country boots
    For some fine italian shoes

    Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar
    We dont need none of that
    Just a little dab'll do ya girl
    Underneath a pork pie hat

    Until hell freezes over
    Maybe you can wait that long
    But i dont think ronnie milsap's gonna ever
    Record this song

    Chorus twice

    Bridge:
    Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there
    Maybe there's somethin' in the air
    Before our upper lips get stiff
    Maybe we need us a big ol whiff

    If we could just get off-a that beat little girl
    Maybe we could find the groove
    At least we can get a decent meal
    Down at the rendez-vous

    'cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord
    Girl, it's gonna do me in
    I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone
    You know sound as sweet as sin

    And after we get good and greasy
    Baby we can come back home
    Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac
    And change the message on the cord-a-phone

    But...

    Chorus
