Passing through Memphis, One night in May
Saw her waiting tables at a Beals Street Blues Café
The band was playing strong but she was center stage
Straight from the delta, off to see the world
This was the big time for a Mississippi girl
Who had a hard life
But she’s a southern pearl
Something about her took my breath away
Her love it hit me like a hurricane
Chorus
And she’s like
Joy riding in a 57 coup
She’s like 2 stepping in my favorite pair of boots
She’s sky diving in with out a parachute
And girl I’m falling
I’m fallin into you
We got to dancing, drinking all night long
She said don’t quit on me now boy wont you come along
And we went down by the river, skinny-dipping till the dawn
Spent the morning fishing fried’ m up by noon
Spent the evening kissing near the southern moon
Chorus
And it’s like
Joy riding in a 57 coup
She’s like 2 stepping in my favorite pair of boots
She’s sky diving in with out a parachute
And girl I’m falling
I’m fallin into you
Chorus out
