Back To Memphis Lyrics

I know your perception of my character
Has been tarnished by the past
I'll be the first to admit, I was a dog
And I've been falling so far, so fast

But if you want to try again
I'd be ready and willing
To play the game, in hopes to win
Replace the pawn with a king

Beautiful woman
Let me hold you close
And sing a million lullabys
Until the night comes to a close
Come the light of the morning
With the lord as my witness
You can say you never knew me
On your way back home to memphis

I know you think that I'm an asshole
Cause I never treated you right
Daddy says a woman's like antique porcelain
In the sense that she ranks at such a high price

And I should've kept it all in mind
Before I walked out on you that night
I'll do everything that it takes for us
To make it all seem so right, yeah

Beautiful woman
Let me hold you close
And sing a million lullabys
Until the night comes to a close
Come the light of the morning
With the lord as my witness
You can say you never knew me
On your way back home to memphis

So before you turn and walk away
Please listen through to I have to say

I'm sorry for what I've done
And I know I made you sad
Please believe me when I say
You're the best thing I've ever had

Yeah, beautiful woman
Let me hold you close
And sing a million lullabys
Until the night comes to a close
Come the light of the morning
With the lord as my witness
You can say you never knew me
On your way back home to memphis

Come the light of the morning
With the lord as my witness
You can say you never knew me
On your way back home to memphis

Back home to memphis

Yeah
