《Memphis Pearl(LP版)》歌词

[00:00:00] Memphis Pearl (LP版) - Lucinda Williams

[00:00:02] Written by：Lorne Rall/Lucinda Williams

[00:00:08] Back in Memphis she was a pearl

[00:00:13] She was everyone's favorite girl

[00:00:18] Now her eyes have a vacant stare

[00:00:26] What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there

[00:00:33] She married a man when she left home

[00:00:39] She wanted someone she could call her own

[00:00:44] He was good to her when he wasn't drunk

[00:00:52] He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked

[00:01:00] Back in Memphis where she grew up

[00:01:05] The life she knew was just not enough

[00:01:11] Back in Memphis when she was a girl

[00:01:19] She thought one day she'd own the world

[00:01:26] She'd look at the TV and magazines

[00:01:31] And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen

[00:01:37] She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet

[00:01:44] But those things don't mean much out here on the street

[00:02:18] Back in Memphis she had fun

[00:02:24] Goin' around tellin' everyone

[00:02:28] She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side

[00:02:36] And wear red lipstick have a nice car to drive

[00:02:44] She bounces her baby on her knee

[00:02:49] Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky you'll see

[00:02:55] I promise it won't always be like this

[00:03:03] Come here sugar give mamma a kiss

[00:03:10] Back in Memphis another time

[00:03:15] Didn't look like things would turn out fine

[00:03:21] Back in Memphis when she was a girl

[00:03:29] She thought one day she'd own the world

[00:03:36] Back in Memphis she was a pearl
