Passing through Memphis one night in May
Saw her waiting tables at a Beal Street Blues Cafe
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 shes a Southern pearl
Something about her took my breath away
Her love it hit me like a hurricane
And shes like
Joy riding in a 57 Coup
Shes like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots
Shes sky diving in with out a parachute
And girl Im falling, Im falling into you
We got to dancing, drinking all night long
She said dont 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 them up by noon
Spent the evening kissing near the Southern moon
And its like
Joy riding in a 57 Coup
Shes like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots
Shes sky diving in with out a parachute
And girl Im falling, Im falling into you
Joy riding in a 57 Coup
Shes like two-stepping in my favorite pair of boots
Shes sky diving in with out a parachute
And girl Im falling, Im falling into you
