Pa**ing through Memphis, one night in May Saw her waiting tables in a Beale Street Blues Café The band was playing strong but she was center stage Straight from the delta, off to see the world This was the big time for a Mississippi girl Had a hard life 'cause she's a southern pearl Something about her took my breath away Her love, it hit me like a hurricane And she's like joyriding in a '57 coupé She's like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots She's like skydiving without a parachute And girl, I'm falling, I'm falling into you We got to dancing, drinking all night long She said, ?don't quit on me now, boy, won't you come along? And we went down by the river, skinny dipping till the dawn Spent the morning fishing, fried 'em up by noon Spent the evening kissing near the southern moon And she's like joyriding in a '57 coupé She's like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots She's like skydiving without a parachute And girl, I'm falling, I'm falling into you And she's like joyriding in a '57 coupé She's like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots She's like skydiving without a parachute And girl, I'm falling, I'm falling into you Yeah, I'm falling Yeah, I'm falling (Well, come on, baby) Yeah, I'm falling (You know I'm falling) Yeah, I'm falling (It's like two-stepping with my favorite) Yeah, I'm falling Yeah, I'm falling Yeah, I'm falling Yeah, I'm falling
