I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis I'm really breaking away this time A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest Taking me to that Nashville sign No turning back I've come too far I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar This ain't Graceland that's a fact And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless And I ain't gotta single thing to lose I've had this dream from a tender age Calling my name from the Opry stage I can hear it sing loud and clear 200 miles and I'll be there I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis I'm really breaking away this time A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest Taking me to that Nashville sign I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless And I ain't gotta single thing to lose I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis i've got the cowboy boots and they're stones I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest Taking me to that Nashville sign
