| It wasn’t easy leaving Memphis
|
| But I needed me a gig
|
| And I had this crazy beautiful feeling, man
|
| I was on the cusp of something big
|
| So I hit the interstate to Nashville
|
| And I made my noble stand
|
| Paying off some old karma
|
| With the Stacy Mitchhart Band
|
| I’m a Music City blow-in
|
| Cause this is where I need to be
|
| I’m one part psychedelic gypsy
|
| Three parts blue-eyed refugee
|
| I’ve come a long way from Graceland
|
| And you can quote me free
|
| My soul is in Memphis
|
| But my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
|
| Well I sat in with some cats
|
| And pretty soon word snuck around
|
| That the dude they know as Goldilocks
|
| Has the wildest organ in town
|
| I’m still dressing out of Lansky’s
|
| So if you see me man, don’t shoot
|
| I’m just prowling on down Music Row
|
| In my Willie Mitchell suit, hey
|
| I’m a Music City blow-in
|
| Cause this is where I need to be
|
| I’m one part psychedelic gypsy
|
| Three parts blue-eyed refugee
|
| I’ve come a long way from Graceland
|
| And you can quote me free
|
| My soul is in Memphis
|
| But my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
|
| Well I wake up every morning
|
| With words of praise upon my lips
|
| Praise for the pioneers and outlaws
|
| That made this city hip
|
| For the men who made Nashville Nashville
|
| And the women behind the men
|
| Who put the funk back into country
|
| And made Nashville great again
|
| I’m a Music City blow-in
|
| Cause this is where I need to be
|
| I’m one part psychedelic gypsy
|
| Three parts blue-eyed refugee
|
| I’ve come a long way from Graceland
|
| And you can quote me free
|
| My soul is in Memphis
|
| But my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
|
| My soul is in Memphis
|
| But my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
|
| My soul is in Memphis
|
| But my ass is in Nashville, Tennessee
|
| Nashville, Tennessee |
