Well it was nine o'clock in Memphis There's a bottle by my side Thought I'd take a little nip And maybe go out for a ride Something done come over me And when it touched my skin The angels opened up their wings And let me climb on in A little piece of heaven Right here on earth A little piece of heaven Right here on earth And the moon shone bright And I felt so alive And the world was filled with love Like a piece of heaven Well now the wheatfields bathed in moonlight Round the month of June Waiting for my ship to roll in But it never came and soon Something done come over me And when it touched my skin The angels opened up their wings And let me climb on in Now its four in the morning That bottle's been long gone Waiting for the sun to come up But I don't think I'll make the dawn Something done come over me And when it touched my skin The angels opened up their wings And let me climb on in
