Memphis In Your Mind

Ringo Starr

Transposer:

[Intro] [Verse 1] A cat has nine lives But man you don’t live twice You can play for a price Bring your friend and his dice If you wanna be the king You gotta go to Memphis in your mind [Verse 2] It’s a bad point of view If Pat Boone got through to you Well I kissed Peggy Sue And you could have too Ain’t that a shame You never went to Memphis in your mind [Bridge] There’s no place cooler when you got your Bop-A-Lula on Slip into your blue suede shoes we’ll dance until the break of dawn Sun Records will be playing you’ll know every word they’re saying’s true Heartbreak Hotel is taking reservations there’s a room for you [Verse 3] You can go to any town Get up but not get down If you wanna hear that rockin’ sound You go to Memphis in your mind [Solo] [Bridge] There’s no place cooler when you got your Bop-A-Lula on Slip into your blue suede shoes we’ll dance until the break of dawn Sun Records will be playing you’ll know every word they’re saying’s true Heartbreak Hotel is taking reservations there’s a room for you [Verse 4] You can have two left feet A N.C. And you can still keep the beat If you’re sixteen and sweet Or you can’t leave your seat If you wanna be the king You gotta go to Memphis in your mind We can all be king So go to Memphis in your mind

La chanson évoque l'idée que, pour vivre pleinement et faire l'expérience de la musique rock, il faut s'imaginer le cœur même de cette culture, à Memphis. Elle parle des opportunités et des choix que l'on peut faire, tout en soulignant que chacune de nos actions a son prix. Les références à des icônes de la musique, à l’ambiance des danses et aux fameux lieux comme Heartbreak Hotel rendent ce voyage mental tout à fait séduisant. En somme, elle invite l'auditeur à embrasser la magie de Memphis, même s'il ne peut pas y aller physiquement. C’est une célébration de la musique et du désir de se sentir vivant, peu importe où l'on se trouve.
