[Intro]
| Cmaj7 | - | Am/C | - |
[Verse 1]
Cmaj7
You can marry an architect
Am/C
Build you a house out on the water
That really impresses your father, yeah
Cmaj7
And you can find some grown up friends
Am/C
Drink some wine in California
But even if you cut it shorter
Cmaj7
You'll always have long blond hair
[Pre-Chorus]
You'll always be Memphis queen
Am/C
You'll always be my first time in New Orleans
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
No matter where I go,
no matter what I do
Am/C
I'll never be twentythree with anyone but you
Cmaj7
You can marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
Am/C
But you'll never be twentythree with anyone but me
Cmaj7
We'll always have Folly beach
We'll always have Delta nights
Am/C
We'll always be inbetween real love and real life
[Verse 2]
Cmaj7
You can ride the train to work
Am/C
Straighten out your accent in the city
Like your folks ain't from Mississippi,
yeah
Cmaj7
You probably got an office view
Am/C
Wearing those skirts you always hated
Yeah, you're so sophisticated
Cmaj7
But I bet you when you drink too much
[Pre-Chorus]
I bet you think 'bout back when
Am/C
I really hope you're happy now
I'm really glad I knew you then
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
No matter where I go,
no matter what I do
Am/C
I'll never be twentythree with anyone but you
Cmaj7
You can marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
Am/C
But you'll never be twentythree with anyone but me
Cmaj7
We'll always have Folly beach
We'll always have Delta nights
Am/C
We'll always be inbetween real love and real life,
Cmaj7
yeah
[Bridge]
Am/C Cmaj7
You'll always have your first last name
Standing in that July rain
Am/C
Telling me your mind is changed
But in my mind you're still the same
Cmaj7
Long blond hair
You'll always be Memphis queen
Am/C
You'll always be my first time in New Orleans
[Chorus]
Cmaj7
No matter where I go,
no matter what I do
Am/C
I'll never be twentythree with anyone but you
Cmaj7
You can marry who you want
Go back to Tennessee
Am/C
But you'll never be twentythree with anyone but me
