| I come from California
|
| Where you say no one grows old
|
| Y’all drive too fast
|
| But you say it so slow
|
| With that southern style, baby
|
| It drives me crazy
|
| And I have to laugh
|
| I have never been to Memphis
|
| But if you’re there
|
| I will pack my bags, and go
|
| Oh even though it never rains here
|
| And the sun is always shining
|
| I have never met a girl like you
|
| And I’m tired of trying
|
| I have never been to Memphis
|
| You’re all crazy about Jesus
|
| Back where you’re from
|
| You get baptized in rivers
|
| Where the deep water runs
|
| And that’s alright by me
|
| I love that you believe in
|
| Something you can’t touch
|
| Something you can’t see
|
| I have never been to Memphis
|
| But if you’re there
|
| I will pack my bags, and go
|
| Oh even though, I’m not afraid to fly
|
| But I am afraid to fall
|
| I’ve been painting it by numbers
|
| You’ve been splashing it on the wall
|
| And I can see the colors running
|
| Lets me know just where to go after all yeah after all
|
| I’ve gotta get there baby
|
| Oh yeah, you know I’ve gotta get myself there
|
| I have never been to Memphis
|
| But if you’re there
|
| I’m on my way
|
| I’m on my way
|
| I’m on my way
|
| I’m on my way
|
| I’m on my way
|
| Gotta get myself to maybe
|
| I have never been to Memphis
|
| But if you’re there
|
| I have never been to Memphis
|
| But if you’re there
|
| You’re all crazy bout Jesus
|
| Back where you’re from
|
| Get baptized in rivers
|
| Where the deep water runs |
