lyrics

when I drove through Memphis not a single soul I saw
just empty roads
lit up parking lots, so
I pulled into the driveway of the first house on the block
I don't know how it happened but something was surely wrong
they came in droves
across the Elmwood lawn
lead by Elvis and his momma
Johnny Ace played his first show since he's been gone

zombies in Memphis did me wrong
crawled up from the earth and sang a thousand lonely songs
I couldn't help but hum along
zombies in Memphis did me wrong

So I dove for the floorboards hoping they'd just roll on by
but no such luck
caught Packy Axton's eye
well he busted in my window
plucked me out my '57 by my tie

bummed a smoke from Billy Black
as I wandered to the last seat in the back
found my place among the corpses
stepped on every crack
ordered up a Cherry Coke and Jack

zombies in Memphis did me wrong
crawled up from the earth and sang a thousand lonely songs
I couldn't help but hum along
zombies in Memphis
