Stream "Sequestered In Memphis"




Lyrics to Sequestered in Memphis


It started when we were dancing
It got heavy when we got to the bathroom
We didn't go back to her place
We went to some place where she cat sits
She said "I know I look tired,
But everything's fried here in Memphis"

Now they wanna know exactly which bathroom
Dude it doesn't make any difference, it can't be important
Yeah sure tell my story again

In barlight, she looked alright
In daylight, she looked desperate.
That's alright I was desperate too,
I'm gettin' pretty sick of this interview.
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis

I think she drove a new mustang
I guess it might be a rental
And I remember she had satellite radio
I guess she seemed a bit nervous
Do you think I'm that stupid
Well what the hell, tell the story again

In barlight, she looked alright
In daylight, she looked desperate.
That's alright I was desperate too,
I'm gettin' pretty sick of this interview.
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis

Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis
Subpoenaed in Texas
Sequestered in Memphis

I went there on business
