Memphis

歌詞

Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? I gotta 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 Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? I used 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 Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Memphis So where the hell is Memphis? I had a one-way ticket and a little radio I turned it on, heard a song 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 Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Somebody turned around, said I got to disagree He wrote a song to turn people out to anarchy He made them think about Marlon Brando on TV I guess they still rebel against anything they got in Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? 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 the cemetry I felt a sudden chill, now I'm not so sure about Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? Memphis Where the hell is Memphis? 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 Memphis Where the hell is Memphis?
