Memphis

Gonna buy me a pair of blue suede shoes
And an old acoustic guitar
Get a convertible Chevrolet
And take a journey somewhere far

Free myself of this town
Take a trip to Graceland
A big girl with bigger dreams
In the place where it all began

Walk with the ghost of Elvis
As he whispers a story me
Smells of fried chicken in the breeze
Man, I'm blue as a girl can be

Take a stroll around Shelby County
A place of such beauty and history
I see familiar faces everywhere
Yet she’s still a mystery

Now I step into my favorite bar
The air heavy with whiskey and blues
I look at the barman and he winks my way
Knowing exactly what I’m going to do

Make my way through tables and chatter
Stand up and test the mic
I can feel it deep in my soul
That tonight is my night

Swing my hips to the left and right
Play my guitar like it’s on fire
Sing my heart out with all my might
On this stage there’s no place higher

The applause and encores surround me
All my life I’ve waited for this
I’m know I’m right where I belong
I finally made it to Memphis

Awesome.

This piece is amazing! =D I'm assuming it's a about a small-town girl finally making her way in the world. I love this piece because that's exactly how I feel about my future (except that I'm not a girl. Haha). I can't wait to get out of our small town and onto bigger things. Bigger dreams. Bigger lives! =D

Anyway, I'm gonna stop rambling on. It is a great piece! I love it!
