Memphis - posted for Jess

We got there just in time,
didn’t we sweet baby?
Talladega Nights
and an old 50’s snack shop.
The radio’s tuned to FM
in this run down field.
We are the last to leave
and the first to go home,
spinning this way and that.
50’s snack shop,
and new - century prices,
and tomorrow
American Greetings takes over this place.
