Lyrics You can marry an architect Build you a house out on the water That really impresses your father, yeah And you can find some grown-up friends Drink some wine in California But even if you cut it shorter You'll always have long, blonde hair You'll always be Memphis queen You'll always be my first time, in New Orleans No matter where I go, no matter what I do I'll never be 23, with anyone but you You can marry who you want Go back to Tennessee But you'll never be 23 with anyone but me We'll always have Folly Beach We'll always have Delta nights We'll always be in between real love and real life You can ride the train to work Straighten out your accent in the city Like your folks ain't from Mississippi, yeah You probably got an office view Wearing those skirts you always hated Yeah, you're so sophisticated But I bet you when you drink too much I bet you think about back then I really hope you're happy now I'm really glad I knew you then No matter where I go, no matter what I do I'll never be 23, with anyone but you You can marry who you want Go back to Tennessee But you'll never be 23 with anyone but me We'll always have Folly Beach We'll always have Delta nights We'll always be in between real love and real life, yeah, eh You'll always have your first last name Standing in that July rain Telling me your mind has changed But, in my mind, you're still the same Long blonde hair (long blonde hair) You'll always be Memphis queen (Memphis queen) You'll always be my first time (my first time), in New Orleans (New Orleans) No matter where I go, no matter what I do I'll never be 23, with anyone but you (anyone but you) You can marry who you want Go back to Tennessee (yeah) But you'll never be 23 with anyone but me
