"Memphis Jane" lyrics - BUDDY & JULIE MILLER

I don't know where she came from but she wanted a ride
Before I could say anything she just got inside
She said, "you got a cigarette?" I said, "what's your name?"
She said, "I'm josephine but in memphis I'm jane"

The tattoo that read s-m-o-o-t-h was crooked
Guess that was my first warning and I should've took it
She said, "I been clean 8 months now, hey you got some money?"
I just started laughin' cause it was so funny

She wants to ride, she ain't going nowhere
She wants to ride, she don't even know where
She's just ridin' around

She said, "my old man split and left me here all alone
I just need twenty dollars to get back home"
I smiled and she said, "friend every word I said is true"
And I said, "why in the world would I not believe you?"

She's josephine and she's jane
She just wants twenty dollars
She's got smooth on her arm
She wants to ride

"I used to live in spring hill but I got relocated
Now I'm at the come-and-go motel but I hate it"
She said, "I got a new job now at hair-world and market"
I went 65 and she said, "drive it or park it"
