memphis pearl

De volta a Memphis, ela era uma pérolaBack in Memphis she was a pearl
Era a garota favorita de todo mundoShe was everyone's favorite girl
Agora seus olhos têm um olhar vazioNow her eyes have a vacant stare
O que ela não daria para viver de novo láWhat she wouldn't give to be livin' back there
Ela se casou com um homem quando deixou a casaShe married a man when she left home
Queria alguém que pudesse chamar de seuShe wanted someone she could call her own
Ele era bom com ela quando não estava bêbadoHe was good to her when he wasn't drunk
A abraçava e dizia como ela era bonitaHe'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked
De volta a Memphis, onde cresceuBack in Memphis where she grew up
A vida que conhecia não era suficienteThe life she knew was just not enough
De volta a Memphis, quando era meninaBack in Memphis when she was a girl
Pensava que um dia iria dominar o mundoShe thought one day she'd own the world
Olhava para a TV e as revistasShe'd look at the TV and magazines
E acreditava em todas as imagens que viaAnd she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen
Estaria vestindo seda e um perfume doceShe'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet
Mas essas coisas não significam muito aqui na ruaBut those things don't mean much out here on the street

SOLOSOLO

De volta a Memphis, ela se divertiaBack in Memphis she had fun
Andando por aí, contando para todo mundoGoin' around, tellin' everyone
Que ia comprar vestidos com zíper na lateralShe was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side
E usar batom vermelho, ter um carro legal para dirigirAnd wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive
Ela balança o bebê no coloShe bounces her baby on her knee
Dizendo que talvez hoje teremos sorte, você vai verSayin' maybe today we'll get lucky, you'll see
Eu prometo que não vai ser sempre assimI promise it won't always be like this
Vem cá, docinho, dá um beijo na mamãeCome here, sugar, give Mamma a kiss
De volta a Memphis, em outra épocaBack in Memphis another time
Não parecia que as coisas iam acabar bemDidn't look like things would turn out fine
De volta a Memphis, quando era meninaBack in Memphis when she was a girl
Pensava que um dia iria dominar o mundoShe thought one day she'd own the world
De volta a Memphis, ela era uma pérolaBack in Memphis she was a pearl
