Memphis water, washing all your blues away, Memphis water, you're a hero, so they say, yes But you're scared to be yourself You don't wanna be no one else In case you falter
I'm on the outside, on the outside looking in, I just met myself on the road I gotta tell you I'm lookin' pretty thin But I'm scared to be myself I don't wanna be no one else In case I falter You know how it feels You tould me to follow my fortune but you brought me to my knees, hey
You know sorrow, sorrow can be replaced A blind man said you left without A trace, you left without a trace
Memphis water, can you see what you have done You gave us all some sweet, sweet Cheer, gave us cheer When we had none
But we're scared to be ourselves And we don't wanna be no one else In case we falter
