about

Highballing home to the Guitar Town on I-40, the sign said "MEMPHIS 100" This one just about wrote itself.

lyrics

100 miles from Memphis
Swear I hear the sound
Of funky laid back pickin’
Yeah, that’s what’s going down
Gets my heart a thumpin’
And my head spinnin’ around
100 miles from Memphis
Tennessee bound

Cats are playing simple
Cats are playing cool
Sisters singing sweetly
Making up the rules

They’re born with it
They live with it
They die with it
Makin’ love with that Memphis
Southern Groove

Maybe it’ the Delta water
Come up from the ground
Maybe it’s the pulpit preaching
“Lost, ye shall be found”
All the ghosts on Beale Street
Ardent, Royal, Sun, Stax, American too
I’m hundred miles from Memphis
To hear what’s goin’ down
Feel what’s going down
At Southern Grooves

They’re born with it
They live with it
They die with it
They’re makin’ love with that Memphis
Southern Groove (repeat)

100 miles from Memphis
Southern Groove
