Wildfire in Memphis - Jobriath

Wildfire in Memphis

Hurricane in Jacksonville

Blow 'way my streetwalkin' feet

And take me where you will

I walked the streets in Dallas

And I picked up a buck in a carriage race

But in the dim light of the pool halls

I could not see my face

Dear sir, I haven’t got a home

On these streets I live and roam

Please sir, take a poor boy home

I walk walk walk the streets all day

I walk walk walk the streets all night

I walk walk walk with my feet on fire

My love for hire

Oh, shall we retire?

Picked up in Hollywood

By a band of wealthy gypsies

Singing peace, love, Hare Krishna

Will you be a star today?

Have you ever played «Romance in F»

To the accompaniment

Of the earth tremblin' 'neath your feet

On Selma Avenue?

Well, in New York, I must admit, tricks are easier

More streets to walk at night

I know the name of every pick-up bar in town

Do you?

Dear sir, I haven’t got a home

On these streets I live and roam

Please sir, take a poor boy home

I walk walk walk the streets all day

I walk walk walk the streets all night

I walk walk walk to my destiny

Someday I may be a big discovery

I learned to love my brother

In a way that few folks ever will

But in the streets my love was tempted

By a twenty-dollar bill

Wildfire in Memphis

Hurricane in Jacksonville

Blow 'way my streetwalkin' feet

And take me where you will

Take me where you will
