On Riverside Drive, on down Past the Crump, there's a white oak stump
With initials that always almost makes me cry
Staying downtown you can overlook a rainy night with a real good book
And almost forget the one you're missing
Oh baby, I still unpack your picture and place it by the bed
And though I've been gone for many a year now, I've still got visions in my head
I was quite a prize back in 65 when you looked into my storybook eyes
You saw your dreams unfolding
Hearts of fire can burn a hole through the walls of fear
And mind control can let you love the one you're holding
And nobody's taking that away
The treasures that I cherish are inside of me to stay
I have been gone, I've been taking trains and catching planes
I have moved on with my name and lights along the way
Been all over the world but my heart's in Memphis, Memphis
You can find it here, my heart's in Memphis, Memphis
In the old time of the year
And though I'm out of town, my heart, my heart can still be found
Walking by the river
Walking by the river
Walking by the river
On Riverside Drive on down Past Crump there's a white oak stump
With an issue
