Jerry Lawson - Never been To Memphis [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]
Rainy day on the avenue
Home town, I'm gray, got me feeling blue
My baby's away so I talk to myself
Can't help thinking of somewhere else
There's another, another place, another day
There's another place that I can stay
I got black coffee to keep me awake
I'm drinking cheap liquor, oh what a mistake
There's no one around, there ain't nothing to do
Well I'm packing up, found somewhere new

[Hook]
I've never been to Memphis, never seen the southern lights
Never thought I would, now I think I might
I've never seen the shine of a Tennessee moon
Maybe it's none, or maybe it's none to soon

[Verse 2]
Out in the road, can't look back
[?] 95 is a like a fast race track
Got to Carolina, sun broke through
Rolled down the top, there ain't nothing but blue
There's another, another place, another day
There's another place that I can stay
Going so fast [?] had a radio
Sign says stop but it really means go
Maybe some day, I don't know when
I'll turn around and me home again

[Hook] x2
