I've Been to Memphis Lyrics


The sun comes up
In a coffee cup
Waitress please I've had enoughLord I can't believe what I see
How could you be alone
When you could sit right here beside me girl
And make yourself at homeI've been to Memphis
And Muscle Shoals
And I love a woman
What I don't knowWhen the sun goes down
In another town
Bartender please another roundLord I can't believe what I see
How could you be alone
When you could sit right here beside me girl
And make yourself at homeI've been to Houston
And San Antonio
And I love a woman
What I don't knowSherry she had big ones
Sally had some too

But Allison had little ones
What hate to go to schoolAnd I make my bed
Where I lay my head
And I wish I heard what she just saidLord I can't believe what I see
How could you be alone
When you could sit right here beside me girl
And make yourself at homeI've been to LA
And El Paso
And I love a woman
What I don't knowSherry she had big ones
Sally had some too
But Allison had little ones
What hate to go to schoolAnd I make my bed
Where I lay my head
And I wish I heard what she just saidLord I can't believe what I see
How could you be alone
When you could sit right here beside me girl
And make yourself at homeI've been to
And where I go
I love a woman
What I don't know

Lyle Lovett is an americana singer-songwriter and actor from Klein, Texas, who has been described as "the thinking man's cowboy". While typically associated with the alt-country genre, his albums typically incorporate folk, swing, blues, jazz and gospel music as well as more traditional country & western styles. The Night's Lullaby Songfacts reports that after twenty-six years with Curb, Lyle Lovett released his eleventh and last album for the record label, Release Me, on February 28, 2012. The record is mainly made up of covers that Lovett has played, but never got round to recording.

The four-time Grammy winner has acted in a number of films and been a guest-star on television. Lovett was married to actress Julia Roberts for a short time in the mid-1990s. In 2002, he was gored by a bull while working on his uncle's farm in Texas, but soon recovered and resumed touring.
