My wife had to wear her hair real big for a wedding recently- that's the primary inspiration for this Elvisy little number. God bless Memphis.

Well, the headlights keep on shining
but the alternator won't stop whining
I've got a big haired memphis woman she's-a-fired up and ready to kill
another dirt road back into heartache
that little honey's got her hand on the E-brake
with a decorated highway patrolman left to hand us the bill

Somehow the Motel turned into a rest stop
and half of everything I own's at the pawn shop
good Lord that Big Haired Memphis woman wants to shake it like a passenger train
I'm just a shot gun shell from the border -
I think another celebration's in order
before we meet up with the devil and the highway's glowing cherry again


Well, the headlights keep on shining
but the alternator won't stop whining
I've got a big haired memphis woman she's-a-rocking on the passenger side
another midnight rendevous down the holler I feel her tugging at the edge of my collar
until we crash into the chapel and I take her as my honky tonk bride
Well, I don't know but I've been told -
Big Haired Memphis woman ain't got no soul!
I'm just a shot gun shell from the border and I need to sin -
Before we meet up with the devil and the highway's glowing cherry again...
Before we meet up with the devil and the highway's glowing cherry again...
Before we meet up with the devil and the highway's glowing cherry again!!!
