In the city by the mighty river

My tribute to Memphis TN a beautiful city

Down by the river with the lights shining down
enjoying a summer evening in a beautiful town

Crowds gather as music fills the air
pacing down the streets without a care

I've found a new love in a world of concrete and steel
and a cool little street the people there call Beale

The Peabody stands above the concert stage
boats glide down the mighty water way

Smoke rises off the grill from the BBQ
life seems so slow here where the Mississippi looms

My new love calls my name with a sax, and a bass
I can't wait till the day when I will revisit this place
