I'll leave it up to you, and your lyin' little heart.

You left me like a scarecrow hangin' dry.

Well I guess I should've known, better from the start.

Should've quit you when I had the chance to fly high.

Am G F
Should've quit you way before I ever tried.

Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.

Bury my heart in Memphis, in the southern summer rain.

Well leave it up to me, and my old fashioned sense of smarts.

I let your loaded love trick my mind.

But I could never picture you, in that light.

Am G F
I never should've set you in my sights.
[Refrain 2]

I just need a place to hang my head.

And I just need a reason to forget you slowly, drowned you out. Yeaaaaah.
