Memphis Lyrics


I've lived my whole life, made mistakes from the get-go
Street kid from the start, right, no regrets though
I do what I want, yeah, 'cuz I said so
No sleep for the wicked, right? No, bed no
Rollin' with the punk rockers, I ain't lyin'
Fake guns, fake bands, fake punk, I ain't buyin'
Hit the road, all I know, rock and roll ain't dyin'
About fifteen deep we hit the streets low ridin'
By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis we were crazy
Tonight, you are our blanket and you're gonna keep us warm
Tonight, protect us from the storm
He was back, causin' troubled time's they're a comin' 'round
Oh no, let me go to another round
Tuesday night is when the storm's gonna settle down
Had a glance, circumstance, don't cause, trouble bound
She's the one, all alone, I come lookin'

Smoke and mirrors as I watch, aw, that girl was trippin'
It's no fun, lost again, to have your heart broken
Greed is from a world that is built on hustlin'
By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis we were crazy
Tonight, you are our blanket and you're gonna keep us warm
Tonight, protect us from the storm
The breaks were fallin' when they had failed
Every road can lead ya straight down to fuckin' hell
Rain stopped fallin' when they had failed
Yeah, every road can take ya straight down to hell
Doin' nothin' here, everyone straight trippin'
Happy at times, are gone, past starts slippin'
This will be enough to keep me on the road livin'
Good every night, in a different city I'll be sleepin'
Let me know, here we go, met a girl named Lola
Is she here? Is she there? Drinkin' Jack and Cola
She says, "Tim, where ya been? I got somethin' to show ya"
Lola fired off her clothes and started rock and rollin'
By the time we made it to New Orleans
It must have been half past three
By the time we made it to Memphis we were crazy
Tonight, you are our blanket and you're gonna keep us warm
Tonight, protect us from the storm

Reed left in 2006 and was replaced by Stieneckert.

To date, Rancid has released seven studio albums, one split album, one compilation, two extended plays, and a series of live online-only albums, and has been featured on a number of compilation albums.The band has independently sold over four million records worldwide,[4] making it one of the most successful independent punk groups of all time. The band rose to fame in 1994 with its second studio album, Let's Go, featuring the single "Salvation". In the following year, Rancid released its highly successful album ...And Out Come the Wolves, which produced its best-known songs "Roots Radicals", "Ruby Soho" and "Time Bomb", and was certified gold and platinum by the RIAA, selling over one million copies in the United States alone.
