Fell Down in Memphis
By Tim Krekel
Worries and trouble
Heartache and pain
The kinda things drive a man insane
They had a firm grip
On my mind
Before I knew it
I stumbled in line
I passed a bar
Heard people laughing
Carrying on
Having fun
Soul music playing
And couples dancing
I couldn't stand it
I started to run
And I fell down in Memphis
Tripped over my untied shoes
Face down on Beale Street
But I'm alright now
I'm just a little bruised
The devil wants you
He'd like to own you
Acts like the only one
Who's ever known you
He hates to see you
Ever have a good time
He'd try to grab you
And you fall behind
I guess it took
A revelation
For me to see
What I had seen
Pure love and
Divine inspiration
Must have been an Angel
Watching over me
And I fell down in Memphis
Tripped over my untied shoes
Face down on Beale Street
But I'm alright now
I'm just a little bruised
I laid there and
I kissed the ground
Cause I love that
Old rivertown
I fell down in Memphis
I fell down in Memphis
Tripped over my untied shoes
Face down on Beale Street
But I'm alright now
I fell down in Memphis
Tripped over my untied shoes
Face down on Beale Street
But I'm alright now
Yeah I'm alright now
I'm just a little bruised
