Memphis In The Rain Lyrics - Nothing's Gonna Change The Way You Feel About Me Now - Justin Townes Earle

Stand down the blacktop at a cold dark night, boy 

Pitch black skies there ain't a star in sight 

But I'm looking for a change 

I'm passing through Memphis in the rain 

Whitewashed buildings and old overgrown yards 

I've got one hand on the wheel, I've got one on my heart 

Looking for a girl without a name 

I'm passing through Memphis in the rain 

But no matter what I do, Lord, I can't stop 

Gotta keep that hammer to the floor baby 

Until I'm clear out of Arkansas mama 

Cause I know what they can do to me

Lord and I won't let them make a fool out of me 

Things are starting to get strange 

Passing through Memphis in the rain 

Sometimes a man's just gotta know when to go 

He's gotta earn himself a keepin' 

He's gotta know when he's been beat 

So I called a cousin down in Houston 

He said 'come on down boy, we've got work for you to be doing' 

I'm looking for a change 

Passing through Memphis in the rain 

Yeah things are startin' to get strange 

I'm passing through Memphis in the rain 

Oh yeah
