Lyrics
I met a gin soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
I encountered a woman who frequents bars and is heavily influenced by gin in Memphis.
I tried to take her upstairs for a ride

I had to heave her right across my shoulder
I had to carry her forcefully over my shoulder, suggesting a level of inebriation or resistance.
I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
I find it difficult to forget about you; drinking doesn't help me erase you from my thoughts.
