Lyrics
I met a gin-soaked, bar-room queen in Memphis
I encountered a woman who spends a lot of time in bars, soaked in gin, in Memphis.
She tried to take me upstairs for a ride
She attempted to persuade me to go upstairs with her for some kind of intimate encounter.
She had to heave me right across her shoulder
She had to physically lift me over her shoulder, possibly indicating my intoxicated state.
'Cause I just can't seem to drink you off my mind
I can't stop thinking about you, and alcohol doesn't help me forget.

I laid a divorcée in New York City
