Memphis Never Falls From Style Testo

Way down the road from Nashville on the Chickasaw Bluff
Where the food is always fine and the weather ain't rough
It's hard to tell the high-and-mighty from the rank-and-the-file
And fashions alter often, but Memphis never falls from style

From the Ohio River to the Natchez Trace
Some sleepy Southern towns are just a basket case
Old Birmingham ain't been worth a damn for a long, long while
And the hipsters go for Austin, but Memphis never falls from style
Don't shush when they shout, nor scold when they drink
They're like Jerry Lee "The Killer", they don't care what you think
The local wisdom says the key to success
Is workin' just a little and worryin' less

Thank you Memphis for the great insight
That music is a drag if it's too fuckin' white
It's B.B. on the guitar, Booker T. and Big Star and Dewey on the radio dial
The soulful groove's what draws 'em, so Memphis never falls from style

Go down to Graceland, pay respect to The King
Or stretch out along the river, hear the boatmen sing
You want danger? They got as much as New York
Plus the blues and the bluffs and the barbecue pork

Way down the road from Nashville where the Big Muddy flows
Eddie Braddock's from there – what else you need to know?
In no other city will each passing pretty girl greet you with a hospitable smile
Yeah it's simply 'cause it's awesome that Memphis never falls from style
It's simply 'cause it's awesome that Memphis never falls from style
