I've Been to Memphis

Lyle Lovett · Live in Texas [MCA] [1999]

The sun comes up in a coffee cup

Waitress please, I've had enough.



Lord, I can't believe what I see

How could you be alone

When you could sit right here beside me girl

And make yourself at home.



I've been to Memphis

And Muscle Shoals

And I love a woman

What I don't know.



When the sun goes down

In another town

Bartender please

Another round.



Lord I can't believe what I see

How could you be alone

When you could sit right here beside me girl

And make yourself at home.



I've been to Houston

And San Antonio

And I love a woman

What I don't know.



Sherry she had big ones

Sally had some too

But Allison had little ones

What hate to go to school.



And I make my bed

Where I lay my head

And I wish I heard

What she just said.



Lord, I can't believe what I see

How could you be alone

When you could sit right here beside me girl

And make yourself at home.



I've been to LA

And El Paso

And I love a woman

What I don't know.



Sherry she had big ones

Sally had some too

But Allison had little ones

What hate to go to school.



And I make my bed

Where I lay my head

And I wish I heard

What she just said.



Lord I can't believe what I see

How could you be alone

When you could sit right here beside me girl

And make yourself at home.



I've been to

And where I go

I love a woman

What I don't know...
