Memphis Pig

lyrics

What I say
Wasted day
What I write
Wasted night
Half awake
Haven't slept
There's no rest in my bed
There's no comforting thoughts in my head

except

Memphis Pig
Barbecue
Slowly cooked
Day or two
Mississip
Pulled apart
Like the pig
Like my heart

You can talk, you can say anything you wanna
Anything at all
Chances are you will say anything you wanna
Chances are I'll be saying barely anything along the way

Mind to hand
Hand to mouth
Side by side
Deeper south
7"
45
Ardent, Sun
Stax & Hi
Keep it here
Keep it real
Keep it live

Memphis Pig
Ain't it good
It's the rub
It's the wood
Mississip
Flowing by
Sure as life
As it should

Drop me off, let me out anywhere you wanna
Anywhere at all
I am fully aware of how to get where I wanna
Don't expect a call

In the end
Nothing said
In the end
Nothing said
Swallow words in your head

In the end
Nothing said
In the end
Nothing said
All your hopes lying dead
