Memphis |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
I got to get away, study my geography |
I’m just a shadow of the boy I used to be |
I used to see the light, now it’s all a mystery |
I used to feel the beat, now I feel a million miles from… |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
I used dirty words never too excessively |
But saying «rock'n'roll» never seemed so bad to me |
I once said it in hip and happy company |
I was in and out in a second on my way to… |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Memphis — So where the hell is Memphis? |
I had a one-way ticket and a little radio |
I turned it on, heard the sound from twenty years ago |
Somebody smiled and said, that’s the only way to go |
He died at twenty-one, now nobody’s innocent in… |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Somebody turned around, said, I got to disagree |

Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
I met a wise old man, he had longer hair than me |
He said, Memphis is nothing like it used to be |
A hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemetry |
I felt a sudden chill, now I’m not so sure about… |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
I’m on a lonesome train on a lonesome track |
I think I’ll jump right off, head for home, double back |
And though I’m better now I know that no-one knows the facts |
I’m gonna start again, forget I ever heard about… |
Memphis — Where the hell is Memphis? |
