Memphis Lives In Me Lyrics - Bon Jovi

There's a town that I call home 

Where all the streets are paved with soul 

Down on Beale there's a honky-tonk bar 

So hear the wail of a blues guitar 

Have a beer and drop a dime in the blind man's jar 

The blues sing softly in the air like a Sunday morning prayer 

Just one more drink and you'll see God everywhere 

Like a sad old melody that cheers you up, it sets you free 

That's how Memphis lives in me 

There comes a time when muddy waters run rough 

There comes a point when a man has had enough 

Like a friend that always stands by me 

Memphis knows me 

Never showed me 

How did life just had to be 

I couldn't even try to run away, say goodbye 

Here I was born and here is where I'll die 

I'm just a man from Tennessee 

I can't be what I can't be 

All I know is Memphis lives in me 

I said I'm just a man from Tennessee 

Can't be what I can't be 

All I know is Memphis lives 

All I know is Memphis gives
