Maybe It Was Memphis

Looking at you through a misty moonlight
Katydids sing like a symphony
Porch swing swaying like a Tennessee lullaby
Melody blowing thru the willow tree
What was I s'posed to do
Standing there looking at you
Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Read about you in a Faulkner novel
Met you once in a Williams play
Heard about you in a country love song
Summer night beauty took my breath away
What was I s'posed to do
Standing there looking at you
Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

Every night now since I've been back home
Lie awake drifting in my memory
Think about you on my mama's front porch swing
Talking that way, so soft to me
What was I s'posed to do
Standing there looking at you
Lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis
Maybe it was southern summer nights
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me
But it sure felt right

You know it sure felt right
But it sure felt right ...

"That song's got a real great hook. Pam's vocal ability really shines through more on this single more than anything she's done. It's definitely the most requested Pam Tillis song we have here."  Randy Chapman, Program Director, KALF, Chico, CA

"I had the chanceto talk with Pam, and she said the first time she heard the mix of  'Maybe It Was Memphis', she cried because everything came together on that single. If I was her, I would've cried too. Every element was absolutely on it."  Charlie Morgan, Program Director, WFMS, Indianapolis, IN
