        A                      D                  A     D
She was seventeen left Arkansas moved here on her own
      A                        D                A     D  
After mom's boyfriend and a tornado tore up her home
                F#m                                            D
She brought her small dog with her but she left behind her old clothes
    F#m                                               D
She emptied out albums of pictures by the side of the road
B    
She'd make some money then she would leave
B                          A           D    A    D
But Memphis is not what it used to be


She got a job in Memphis cause she lied 'bout her age
Said she'd give it a try up on the stage
At the Platinum Plus club she was a dancing, dancing to the drugs and the music
If her body was a weapon, she had learned how to use it
So give her the money if you wanted to see
Memphis is not what it used to be


She made three thousand a week in that East Memphis club
Til' the Fed's shut it down for running drugs
Then the money got tight but she's got a solution
She and some of the girls next summer moving down to Houston
I asked her what else in town should I see
She said Memphis is not what it used to be
