Memphis Lyrics - Singles - Catie Curtis

My mother cleans Elvis' house 

Yeah, she and everybody else 

Who moved to Memphis for the King 

She used to work at the Motel 6 

Now she gets free guitar picks 

That's how I learned to play and sing 

I've been playing the hotel scene 

Living out my mother's dreams 

Strumming underneath the disco lights 

All kinds of people come in 

We got this psychic from Beijing 

She read my cards right there that night 

And then I dreamed that my soul mate 

Was a motel clerk in Jersey 

Who has not met me, so why am I in this Hotel in Memphis 

When I just want to kiss somebody tonight 

My mother doesn't seem to mind that 

Elvis isn't still alive 

She just toils in memory 

She's no hippie, she's no flake 

She just thinks that it's her fate 

And who am I to disagree 

Everybody's got a heart to follow 

Everybody's got to make that call 

As I look around the hotel scene 

I'm doing pretty good with my band 

People come shake my hand 

But true love is what I need 

So I dream about my soul mate 

Who's a motel clerk in Jersey 

Who has not met me so why am I in this Hotel in Memphis 

When I just want to kiss somebody tonight 

So I'm gonna take the Greyhound all the way to Jersey 

I hope you meet me 'cause 

I don't care if I ever get famous 

I just want to kiss somebody tonight
