The King Knows How Lyrics

Over The Rhine The King Knows How

I feel as lonely As anybody Who's crying on a Friday night

Once in a while On my radio dial I accidentally get it right

I'm thinking I might be tempted to Slide on over Slide on over

I'm thinking I need a little something to Tide me over Tide me over Till Memphis

You know that lonesome Whippoorwill I know a girl who is bluer still

Is that a jukebox altar call Or just a soft smoky place to fall

I'm thinking I might be tempted to Slide on over Slide on over

I'm thinking I need a little something to Tide me over Tide me over Till Memphis

Cause the king knows how To take me all the way Yeah the king knows how The King knows how To take me all the way To Memphis

I feel as lonely As anybody Who's crying on a Friday night

I'm not laughing Because it's funny Hank is laughing 'cause he's always right

I'm thinking I might be tempted to Slide on over Slide on over

I'm thinking I need a little something to Tide me over Tide me over

You strike the match boy But do you know how To burn it all the way down To Memphis

'Cause the king knows how The King knows how To take me all the way...
