Lyrics

I'm sitting here in Memphis Whisky bottle in my hand, oh I've got to find a woman I'm only on a one-night stand I've got to kick away these blues Got to get on my Rock and Roll shoes I'm leaving in the morning I'm heading for the promised land Tried to call a number A certain lady in town, yeah But when I got connected She told me she was going to settle down, oh baby, yeah I've got to kick away these blues Got to get on my Rock and Roll shoes I'm leaving in the morning I'm heading for the promised land Oh baby, look out over there Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band Every place I've been to seem to be the same Every time I tried to play my winning hand I get a little closer but it's still the same old game I get a little closer to you, baby Seem like you're all the same I get a little closer to you Still the same old game Come on, baby, I wanna take you with me I've got to leave the city I'm headed for the California sun, oh yeah, yeah yeah They say the girls are pretty And pretty soon, I'm going to get me one, yeah yeah yeah I've got to kick away these blues Got to get on my Rock and Roll shoes I'm leaving in the morning I'm heading for the promised land, Lord knows I am Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band Every place I've been to seem to be the same Every time I tried to play my winning hand I get a little closer but it's still the same old game Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band Every place I've been to seem to be the same Every time I tried to play my winning hand I get a little closer but it's still just the same old game
