[Intro]
[acoustic guitar strumming in G major]

[Verse 1]
[baritone male vocals]
They say that Memphis ain't nothing like Tennessee
You said you loved my ways, well maybe you don't love me
I've been to Idaho and I've traveled way up north
I've seen the Rocky Mounts, and I've walked from shore to shore

[Chorus]
The trains keep running, well maybe I'm running too
And I'm not your answer, but we ain't got nothing to lose
You choose
One by one every day is gone and it's getting late
And I'm looking for your number on a license plate tonight

[Post-Chorus]
[falsetto vocalizations]
Tonight (ah-ah-ah)
Tonight (ah-ah-ah)
Tonight
[acoustic guitar lead melody enters]

[Verse 2]
I'm feeling dour, that's become a habit these days
I'm not your lover, and you don't have to 'vert your gaze
The sky's been painted with streaks of red and white
I get the feeling that you ain't with me tonight
But that's alright

[Chorus]
One by one every day is gone and it's getting late
And I'm looking for your number on a license plate tonight

[Post-Chorus]
[falsetto vocalizations]
Tonight (ah-ah-ah)
Tonight (ah-ah-ah)
Tonight

[Outro]
They say that Memphis ain't nothing like Tennessee
You said you loved me, well baby let's wait and see
[final acoustic guitar strum]
