Lyrics
I should have told you what you mean to me
Before you took that job down in New Orleans
You took the Mississippi down
Now your livin on magazine
Now me and the buffalo trace are calling
At two fifteen
[chorus]
I hope that when you get this
You make your way back home to Memphis
Without you I can only sing the blues
The city looks so empty since the night that you left me
They dim the lights on Beale street without you
Take the river home
I knew that you were magic from the start
I can’t believe I ever thought that could win your heart
Something that we had made me believe
That you be holding on to me While chasing all your dreams
[chorus]
I hope that when you get this
You make your way back home to Memphis
Without you I can only sing the blues
The city looks so empty since the night that you left me
They dim the lights on Beale street without you
Take the river home
[piano solo]
[bridge]
I know you’re a dreamer
I have dreams too
But I can’t sleep at night
If I’m not next to you
[final chorus]
[chorus]
I hope that when you get this
You make your way back home to Memphis
Without you I can only sing the blues
The city looks so empty since the night that you left me
They dim the lights on Beale street without you
Take the river ho-o-ome
Take the river ho-o-ome
Take the river ho-o-ome
Take the river home
