Memphis In The Meantime Lyrics - John Hiatt

I got something to say little girl 

You might not like my style 

But we've been hanging around this town 

Just a little too long a while 

You say you're gonna get your act together 

Gonna take it out on the road 

But if I dont get outta here pretty soon 

My head's going to explode 

Sure I like country music 

I like mandolins 

But right now I need a telecaster 

Through a vibro-lux turned up to ten 

CHORUS: 

Lets go to Memphis in the meantime baby 

Memphis in the meantime girl

I need a little shot of that rhythm baby 

Mixed up with these country blues 

I wanna trade in these ol country boots 

For some fine italian shoes 

Forget the mousse and the hairspray sugar 

We dont need none of that 

Just a little dab'll do ya girl 

Underneath a pork pie hat 

Until hell freezes over 

Maybe you can wait that long 

But I dont think Ronnie Milsap's gonna ever 

Record this song 

CHORUS TWICE 

BRIDGE: 

Maybe there's nothin' happenin' there 

Maybe there's somethin' in the air 

Before our upper lips get stiff 

Maybe we need us a big ol whiff 

Photos 

If we could just get off-a that beat little girl 

Maybe we could find the groove 

At least we can get a decent meal 

Down at the Rendez-vous 

'Cause one more heartfelt steel guitar chord 

Girl, it's gonna do me in 

I need to hear some trumpet and saxophone 

You know sound as sweet as sin 

And after we get good and greasy 

Baby we can come back home 

Put the cowhorns back on the cadillac 

And change the message on the cord-a-phone 

But... 

CHORUS
