He made my loving heart hollow
With blue eyes and sandy hair
where he went, I would follow.
Holding a loving hand,
That turned on me in the end.
Oh how I wish I could have kept him as a friend
But true love,
Isn't always the truest
His blue eyes
Made my world the bluest
He was a little wild, a little reckless
Sometimes I really miss,
That boy from Memphis
He had the most adorable grin
And I was convinced we'd be life long friends.
He gave me the answers I was searchin for
So afraid to hurt my feelings,
But in the end he hurt me so much more.
True love,
Isn't always the truest
His blue eyes
Made my world the bluest
He was a little wild, a little reckless
Sometimes I really miss,
That boy from Memphis
Ooh yeah
I can still see,
The look in his eyes.
From the way he was staring at me,
I knew,
It was goodbye
I wanted to cry
But I kept it inside
I wanted to ask him, why
True love,
Isn't always the truest
His blue eyes
Made my world the bluest
And didn't we have some good times?
Why was I so, so blind.
He was a little wild, a little reckless
Sometimes I really miss,
That boy from Memphis
That boy from Menphis
So I'm gonna keep my distance
Cause I've learned the hard way once before
It's a lesson learned,
But it left me with a burn
The size of Texas,
A boy from Memphis...
Tennessee
