Maybe It Was Memphis Lyrics

Cover art for Maybe It Was Memphis lyrics by Pam Tillis

This song is reminiscent of romantic magic. She considers the components that contributed to the situation: nature, sounds, time, location. The sweet, lonely boy's soul shines through in ways she always imagined like in a book, play, and love song. She lists the possible reasons the pure feelings surfaced, but the feelings of being right are what mattered. There is mystery in the long-term outcome, but the pure and real feelings are what matters. The feelings are nearly never-in-a-lifetime feelings that can never be forgotten or ignored.
