HEART LIKE MEMPHIS
She's Georgia honeysuckle sweet, Smiles at strangers on the street
Remembers everybody's name, Calls her momma every day
Got the look, got the friends, Gives the world
All her best, But she hides, All the rest
He didn't really know what it was about her. She was just amazing. She knew how to hold herself, she seemed to be friends with everything and know everyone. She had this strange obsession with being the best at everything…she had more to her than she showed, he could just tell.
She's got a smile like California; she's got a spirit like New Orleans
Eyes like the lights of New York City, yeah, cool as a Carolina breeze
But underneath
She's got a heart like Memphis
Her smile lit up a room. She had an insane, energetic spirit. Her eyes shined like the lights in New York City, she had this ability to act so cool and collected, and he just didn't understand it. But the one this that was so amazing was how she was able to open her heart to anyone who was able to trust her.
She sleeps with the TV on, Wakes up dreamin he came home
Won't lay on his side of the bed, too many memories in her head
No one knows, when she cries alone,
In the night, they just think
She's alright, because
She's got a smile like California; she's got a spirit like New Orleans
Eyes like the lights of New York City, yeah, cool as a Carolina breeze
But underneath
She's got a heart like Memphis
She would tell him about how she missed her dad, he noticed when they would watch TV at night when she hung out with him as they waited for her mom to come get her after long hours and she would fall asleep, When he would ask she said it was because she used to fall asleep on the couch watching TV with TV. When she told him this, all her walls broke down. She just started balling. He realized that all the determination and spirit was a mask but a mask that fit her well and showed people she was just like her father. She just hid it from everyone… except him.
Oh yeah
She puts on
She puts on
A new dress
A new dress
She goes out
She turns all the boy's heads
That's as close
That's as close as they get
As they're ever gonna get
She never wore dresses, but tonight was special… He was going to keep her mind off her dad and she decided to wear one. He noticed that all the other guys kept staring at her long lean legs and how amazing she looked, but he didn't worry because she was his and those other boys would never know her like he did.
She's got a smile like california
She's got a spirit like new orleans
Eyes like the lights of new york city, yeah
Cool as a carolina breeze
But underneath
But underneath
She's got a heart like memphis
She's got a heart like Memphis
But no one would ever notice all that like he did because she was his girl and she was the one person he trusted just like she trusted her and told him all her secrets. Because she loved him and he loved her.
