He's hold up down on Ramrod Key in the Tavernier Hotel
Livin' out his loneliness like an oyster in a shell
By days he pulls the trap lines
By night he lives alone
Don't really feel like company
Ot's just him and his fridge
And his phone 

Meet me in Memphis
That's where I'll be
I'm by the river
Please come back to me
Meet me in Memphis
My wild days are through
And nothin' replaces
Me next to you 

He's been there since she ran away
She said, 'She needs some space'
Occasionally she still calls collect 
From some god forsaken place 

Then one day a letter came
Postmarked Tennessee
And the envelope scent
And the postage spent
Well, it lit up her old memory 

Meet me in Memphis
That's what she said
Too much for a letter
Please come here instead
Meet me in Memphis
My wild days are through
Still nothing replaces
Me next to you 

I know she could break my heart again
But I'm gonna play and I'm gonna win
Where Otis would play
Da da da dock of the bay 

Meet me in Memphis
That's where I'll be
I'm by the river
You're by the sea (Oh please)
Meet me in Memphis
My wild days are through
Still nothing replaces
Me next to you
