Memphis Pearl (LP版) - Lucinda Williams[00:00:00]

Written by：Lorne Rall/Lucinda Williams[00:00:02]

Back in Memphis she was a pearl[00:00:08]

She was everyone's favorite girl[00:00:13]

Now her eyes have a vacant stare[00:00:18]

What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there[00:00:26]

She married a man when she left home[00:00:33]

She wanted someone she could call her own[00:00:39]

He was good to her when he wasn't drunk[00:00:44]

He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked[00:00:52]

Back in Memphis where she grew up[00:01:00]

The life she knew was just not enough[00:01:05]

Back in Memphis when she was a girl[00:01:11]

She thought one day she'd own the world[00:01:19]

She'd look at the TV and magazines[00:01:26]

And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen[00:01:31]

She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet[00:01:37]

But those things don't mean much out here on the street[00:01:44]

Back in Memphis she had fun[00:02:18]

Goin' around tellin' everyone[00:02:24]

She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side[00:02:28]

And wear red lipstick have a nice car to drive[00:02:36]

She bounces her baby on her knee[00:02:44]

Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky you'll see[00:02:49]

I promise it won't always be like this[00:02:55]

Come here sugar give mamma a kiss[00:03:03]

Back in Memphis another time[00:03:10]

Didn't look like things would turn out fine[00:03:15]

Back in Memphis when she was a girl[00:03:21]

She thought one day she'd own the world[00:03:29]

Back in Memphis she was a pearl[00:03:36]
