There's a man from Memphis,
he knows coal from hot,
slipped his bonds and left there,
made his name,
giving all he got, John Scott.
Cool as they come,
working all day on a number one,
John Scott,
if you want it clinched,
don't believe me,
ask Ben Montage.
John Scott,
he's the man on the square,
don't believe me, ask Ron Blair.
There's a man from Memphis,
he knows what he knows,
you may not believe it,
you can't deny what the record shows,
John Scott.
Cool as they come,
thunder all night, beating the drum, John Scott,
he's your man in the
trench, don't believe me, ask Stan Lynch.
John Scott,
he's your man in the scramble,
don't believe me,
ask Mike Campbell.
John Scott,
he's your man when you're ready,
don't believe me,
remember Tom Petty.
There's a man from Memphis,
John Scott.
There's a man from Memphis,
John Scott.
