Sequestered in Memphis Lyrics


It started when we were dancing
It got heavy when we got to the bathroom
We didn't go back to her place
We went to some place where she cat sits
She said, "I know I look tired but everything's fried here in Memphis"Now they want to know exactly which bathroom
Dude, does it make any difference?
It can't be important
Yeah, sure I'll tell my story againIn bar light she looked alright
In daylight she looked desperate
That's alright, I was desperate too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interviewSubpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in MemphisI think she drove a new Mustang
I guess it might be a rental
I remember she had satellite radio
I guess she seemed a bit nervousDo you think I'm that stupid?
Oh, what the hell I'll tell my story againIn bar light she looked alright

In daylight she looked desperate
That's alright, I was desperate too
I'm getting pretty sick of this interviewSubpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in MemphisSubpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis(I went there on business)
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis
(I went there on business)
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis(I went there on business)
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis
(I went there on business)
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis

The Hold Steady is a Brooklyn-based rock band formed by vocalist/guitarist Craig Finn (ex-Lifter Puller) in 2004. Wanting to capture the sound of bands such as The Replacements and The Grifters, he recruited guitarist Tad Kubler (also ex-Lifter Puller), drummer Judd Counsell, and bassist Galen Polivka. In 2005 the band grew to include Franz Nicolay (of The World/Inferno Friendship Society) on keyboards and Bobby Drake took over on drums following Counsell's departure.

Recording mostly live, the band released its debut, Almost Killed Me, on French Kiss Records in March 2004 and Separation Sunday a year later. In April 2006 the band signed to Vagrant Records and entered the studio on the 1st of May to begin work on their third record, Boys And Girls In America. Released in October, it was one of the most critically acclaimed records of 2006 and reached a much larger audience than its predecessors.

The band released their fourth album, Stay Positive, recorded again with Boys And Girls In America producer John Agnello. Nicolay left the group and on May 4, 2010 the band released their fifth studio album, Heaven Is Whenever, recorded with producer Dean Baltulonis.


On July 15, 2008, Stay Positive was released. It debuted at #30 on the Billboard 200. It debuted on the UK Album Chart at #15 on July 20, the third-highest new entry. It ranked #1 on the UK Indie Chart. The album was named the best of 2008 by Entertainment Weekly. The song "Constructive Summer" was number 56 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2008.
