If he died in Memphis un't that be cool babe?

lyrics

I'm movin to Memphis
I'm needin my wheels to roll there
I keep dreamin up more and more reasons to go there
Is it scary to think that your losing me? Don't worry
I'll see you in Memphis, Tennessee

I'm movin to Memphis
I'll live close to Beal Street
I'll get to havin a favorite waitress
And I'll laugh at the Elvis freaks
I'm thinkin I'm gonna like living at that speed so
I'll see you in Memphis, Tennessee

I'm movin to Memphis
Cause she's all I can think about
How it'd be cool to die there
In her wet mouth drown
How it'd be nothin but poetry when they found my body
I'll see you in Memphis, Tennessee

I'm movin to Memphis
My eyes find it's skyline the best
And when me and ol' Memphis go to town
In a Chinese gown it'll dress
I've already decided, I'm leaving this week
So I'll see you in Memphis, Tennessee

I'm movin to Memphis
I had only visited before
But I want it to always be just outside the door
So as I can see the river, and smell the air, and taste the cuisine
I'll see you in Memphis, Tennessee

I'm movin to Memphis
Cause there a boy should grow up
In Memphis's fair hands a man he can become
So lay me down in a bed of southern fall leaves
I'll see you in Memphis, Tennessee

I'm movin to Memphis
It's a place I could love
I heard a story that angels carved it all from old tree trunks
And to be lyin in Memphis is all that I need
I'll see you in Memphis, Tennessee
