Passing through Memphis, one night in May
Saw her waiting tables in a Beale Street Blues Caf
The band was playing strong but she was center stage
Straight from the delta, off to see the world
This was the big time for a Mississippi girl
Had a hard life 'cause shes a southern pearl
Something about her took my breath away
Her love, it hit me like a hurricane
And shes like joyriding in a '57 coup
Shes like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots
Shes like skydiving without a parachute
And girl, Im falling, Im falling into you
We got to dancing, drinking all night long
She said, Dont quit on me now, boy, won't you come along
And we went down by the river, skinny dipping till the dawn
Spent the morning fishing, fried 'em up by noon
Spent the evening kissing near the southern moon
And shes like joyriding in a '57 coup
Shes like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots
Shes like skydiving without a parachute
And girl, Im falling, Im falling into you
And shes like joyriding in a '57 coup
Shes like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots
Shes like skydiving without a parachute
And girl, Im falling, Im falling into you
Yeah, I'm falling
Yeah, I'm falling
(Well, come on, baby)
Yeah, I'm falling
(You know I'm falling)
Yeah, I'm falling
(It's like two-stepping with my favorite)
