Owen Temple - Memphis lyrics

She was seventeen left Arkansas moved here on her own After mom's boyfriend and a tornado tore up her home She brought her small dog with her but she left behind her old clothes She emptied out albums of pictures by the side of the road She'd make some money then she would leave But Memphis is not what it used to be She got a job in Memphis cause she lied 'bout her age Said she'd give it a try up on the stage At the Platinum Plus club she was a dancing, dancing to the d** and the music If her body was a weapon, she had learned how to use it So give her the money if you wanted to see Memphis is not what it used to be She made three thousand a week in that East Memphis club Til' the Fed's shut it down for running d** Then the money got tight but she's got a solution She and some of the girls next summer moving down to Houston I asked her what else in town should I see She said Memphis is not what it used to be
