Back in Memphis Lyrics - 1969

[ Buy Back in Memphis ]

(words & music by arnold - morrow - martin)
Now that the truth is hard to face
I can't forget you once were mine
Someone else is in my place
Whenever we meet my heart beats out of time

Just a little bit of green
Clouds my eyes to what i've seen
Just a little bit of green
When i see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing i can do

Please don't try to tie me down
Those are the words you often say
I can't help seeing you around
You smile with surprise, i turn my eyes away

Just a little bit of green
Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what i've seen
Just a little bit of green
When i see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing i can do

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

Just a little bit of green
Oh-oh-ho, clouds my eyes to what i've seen
Just a little bit of green
When i see you with someone new
And knowing that there's nothing i can do

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Just a little bit of green
