Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight

Katy did sing like a symphony

Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby

Melody blowing through a willow tree

What was I supposed to do

standing there lookin' at you

Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

but it sure felt right

Read about you in a Faulkner novel

Met you once in a Williams play

Heard about you in a country love song

Summer night beauty took my breath away

What was I s'posed to do

standing there lookin' at you

Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis

maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

but it sure felt right

Every night now since I've been back home

Lie awake drifting in the memory

Think about you on my mama's front porch swing

Talking that way so soft to me

What was I supposed to do

standing there lookin' at you

Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

but it sure felt right

Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

but it sure felt right

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right

Oh you know it sure felt right

Oh maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was Memphis
