Minus The Bear - Memphis & 53rd Lyrics

"Come on man," she said
"We have to leave this town. I can't stand another day without the rain"
I said, "We'll leave now, you can pack our things, let me get the bill and I can make it straight"
It was the same as yesterday

We'd been gone and the miles stretched down the long road
We moved as fast as we could
Through the heat of the desert and the cruelty of that Buick's seat, just to keep on

That night we laid on the floor of the desert but I could barely sleep
Yeah, I had this dream
There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat and I woke up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me

We sat on the corner of Memphis and 53rd
As they filled the tank, we had a drink
She whispered, "Let's get moving"

The next night we laid on the floor of the desert but I still couldn't sleep
There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat and I'd wake up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me
