Artist/Band: Neil Diamond
Lyrics for Song: Memphis Streets
Lyrics for Album: Play Me: The Complete Uni Studio Recordings...Plus! [2002]



I'm headed for Memphis, ridin' a '59 Ford

Good paying job, girl

Bein' alone makes it hard



Find myself taking rides

Through the Memphis streets

Look out and watch the view

Girl, you know I don't see a thing

Can't get my mind off of you

Na na na na na na na na na na na na



Work on the day shift

Come back to my three dollar room

I'm a ten dollar dreamer

And I'm going to make it come true



But now I'm taking rides

Through the Memphis streets

Look out and watch the view

Girl, you know I don't see a thing

Can't get my mind off of you

Na na na na na na na na na na na na



Find myself taking rides

Through the Memphis streets

Look out and watch the view

Girl, you know I don't see a thing

Can't get my mind off of you.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na



Taking rides through the Memphis streets

Look out and watch the view

Girl, you know I don't see a thing

Can't get my mind off of you.
