I've seen the bright lights of Memphis
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp
I met a Southern belle
And the Commodore Hotel
And underneath a street lamp
I met a Southern belle

Mama's got a squeeze box, daddy never sleeps at night.
I don't know but I've been told

Ya take what ya need and ya leave the rest

I was dancin' with my darlin' to the Tennessee Waltz
-------------------------------
He just grinned and shook my hand, "no" was all he said

And the beat goes on
"The judge said son, what is your alibi? If you were somewhere else, then you won't have to die"
Well, I grew up quick and I grew up mean,
My fist got hard and my wits got keen,
I'd roam from town to town to hide my shame.
But I made a vow to the moon and stars
That I'd search the honky-tonks and bars
And kill that man who gave me that awful name.
Oh then tell me Sean O'Farrell, tell me why you hurry so....
Well, there's gonna be a freakers ball, Tonight at the freaker's hall....
Won't you scratch my itch, sweet Annie Rich,and welcome me
back to town......
I spent a lifetime making up my mind to be....
