Palm trees sway, but don't know nothin' 'bout a summer storm
They're made for picture-perfect scenes, standing tall in perfect form
My apartment view's got mountains, fancy cars and city lights
But I'm dreamin' 'bout bluff city sunsets, and warm southern nights
Got my fancy coffee, oat milk, extra foam and ice
But it ain't got the sweet tea taste that makes everything feel nice
Oh, these Memphis memories, they play inside my head
Soulful, sweet reminder of the life that I once led
From Beale Street blues to barbeque, a rhythm in my soul
Yeah, I'm doing just fine out here, but Memphis, you're my home
My sweet, sweet home
They talk about the next big thing, the charts, the latest craze
I nod and smile, but my mind drifts to simpler, slower days
To afternoons down by the river, just me and my best friend
I miss Huey's where the sweet potato fries had no end
My wardrobe's full of designer names, sleek and shiny, every thread
But sometimes I just miss my worn-out jeans and a Tigers hat on my head
Oh, these Memphis memories, they play inside my head
Soulful, sweet reminder of the life that I once led
From Beale Street blues to barbeque, a rhythm in my soul
Yeah, I'm doing just fine out here, but Memphis, you're my home
My sweet, sweet home
LA's got golden stars, sidewalks engraved with famous names
But you won't find Graceland anywhere on that Walk of Fame
This city's built on make-believe, hopes, dreams and bad reviews
But Memphis livs forever with its rock and roll and blues
All these Memphis memories, they play inside my head
Soulful, sweet reminder of the life that I once led
From the Pyramid to the Pea body, it's the rhythm in my soul
Yeah, I'm doing just fine out here, but Memphis, you're my home
My sweet, sweet home
Take me home
Take me home
