| Lyrics: | Looking at you through a misty moonlight,
kateydid sing like a symphony.
Porch swaying
like a Tennessee lullaby,
melody blowing through the willow tree.
What was I s'posed
to do,
standing there looking at you?
Lonely boy far from
home...
(chorus)
Maybe it was Memphis,
maybe it was southern summer
nights.
Maybe it was you, maybe it was me,
but it sure felt right.
Read about
you in a Faulkner novel,
met you once in a Williams' play.
Heard about you in a country
love song,
summer night beauty took my breath away.
What was I s'posed to
do,
standing there looking at you?
Lonely bar far from home.
(repeat chorus
twice)
Every ngiht now since I been back home,
I lie awake at night drifting in my
memory.
Think about you on your mama's front porch swing
talking that way, so soft to
me.
What was I s'posed to do,
standing there looking at you?
Lonely boy far
from home
(repeat chorus 'til fade |
