Lyrics:

Lookin' at you through a misty moonlight

Katydid sing like a symphony

Porch swing swayin' like a Tennessee lullaby

Melody blowing through the willow tree



What was I supposed to do

Standin' there lookin' at you

A lonely boy far from home

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 nights beauty took my breath away



What was I supposed to do

Standin' there lookin' at you

A lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right



Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right



Every night now since I've been back home

Lie awake drifting in the memory

I think about you on your momma's front porch swing

Talking that way so soft to me



What was I supposed to do

Standin' there lookin' at you

A lonely boy far from home

Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right



Maybe it was Memphis

Maybe it was southern summer nights

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right

Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right

You know it sure felt right...



Maybe it was you maybe it was me

But it sure felt right



Maybe it was Memphis
