Passing through Memphis, One night in May
Saw her waiting tables at a Beals Street Blues Café
The band was playing strong but she was center stage

Straight from the delta, off to see the world
This was the big time for a Mississippi girl
Who had a hard life
But she's a southern pearl

Something about her took my breath away
Her love it hit me like a hurricane

Chorus
And she's like

Joy riding in a 57 coup
She's like 2 stepping in my favorite pair of boots
She's sky diving in with out a parachute
And girl I'm falling
I'm fallin into you

We got to dancing, drinking all night long
She said don't quit on me now boy wont you come along
And we went down by the river, skinny-dipping till the dawn

Spent the morning fishing fried' m up by noon
Spent the evening kissing near the southern moon

Chorus
And it's like

Joy riding in a 57 coup
She's like 2 stepping in my favorite pair of boots
She's sky diving in with out a parachute
And girl I'm falling
I'm fallin into you

Chorus out
