Backstory:

This was my first write with Sam and Nicole. She had the hook and I just had to hang on and follow along with her and Sam; which was no easy feat. This girl is the real deal.      

Lyrics:

                                                  
Memphis
John Cirillo (ASCAP)/Sam Gyllenhaal (BMI)/Nicole Boggs (SESAC)

What the hell are we doin?
We’re working too hard
Drowning our nights in the back of this bar
Oh, burning out at both ends

You say I’m short with my temper
And I worry too much
I say your building up walls and we’re both losing touch
Oh, I know somewhere we can go
	
	Chorus:
It’s never too far
We can pack up and leave
Get outta your head, hit the road, take a breath
Leave that strung out and restless
By the time we hit Memphis

A little Beale Street revival 
Let it run through our blood
Fight the blues with the blues 
Get back to just being in love
Let that be enough

	Bridge:
By the time we hit Memphis we’ll be letting go, get the weary out your soul
By the time we hit Memphis we’ll be holdin on, let the city take us in her arms
