Memphis

Lyrics

[Chorus] Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? [Verse 1] 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... [Chorus] Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? [Verse 2] I use 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... [Chorus] Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Memphis So where the hell is Memphis? [Verse 3] 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... [Chorus] Memphis So where the hell is Memphis? [Verse 4] Somebody turned around, said, I got to disagree He wrote a song to turn people onto anarchy He made me think about Marlon Brando on TV I guess they'll still rebel against anything they got in... [Chorus] Memphis So where the hell is Memphis? [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? [Verse 5] 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 guitars lying in a cemet'ry I felt a sudden chill, now I'm not so sure about... [Chorus] Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? [Verse 6] 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... [Chorus] Memphis Where the hell is Memphis?
