JOHN HIATT lyrics : "Memphis In The Meantime"

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
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
