[Intro]
2x
[Verse 1]
I ll leave it up to you, and your lyin little heart.
You left me like a scarecrow hangin dry.
[Verse 2]
Well I guess I should ve known, better from the start.
Should ve quit you when I had the chance to fly high.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Should ve quit you way before I ever tried.
[Refrain 1]
Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.
Somewhere close to Graceland so I can hear angels sing.
And if it s easier on you to leave and not stay.
Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.
[Verse 3]
Well leave it up to me, and my old fashioned sense of smarts.
I let your loaded love trick my mind.
Well I guess I should ve seen, that old tunnel in the dark.
But I could never picture you, in that light.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I never should ve set you in my sights.
[Refrain 2]
Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.
Somewhere close to Graceland so I can hear Elvis sing.
And if it s easier on you to leave and not stay.
Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.
[Chorus 1]
I just need a place to hang my head.
And I just need a reason to forget you slowly, drowned you out. Yeaaaaah.
[Refrain 3]
Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.
Somewhere close to Graceland so I can hear Elvis sing.
And if it s easier on you to leave and not stay.
[Outro]
Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.
