If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis 
I'll never do nothin' like this 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 

I went down to the corner, I called by buddy Ray 
Said it's a bad idea, but let's do it anyway 
So we called in sick, and put a twenty in his Cadillac 
A hurried note to my baby, I swear I'll be right back 

We started headin' south on highway sixty one
Been a long time, since we made this run 
They got riverboat gamblin', and tunes along the Mississippi 
Now I'm praying to god, lady luck is with me 

If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis 
I'll never do nothin' like this 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 

Had a little luck, early in the night 
I was up a thousand dollars, high as a kite 
Then I blew all on one last hand of Texas hold'em 

I should have listened to my gut, and it said fold'em 

Wasn't keeping track, of just how much I drank 
Should have stashed another twenty in Ray's gas tank 
Now the needles on empty, I can see it by the light of the moon 
And if we make it back to Memphis, we're gonna have to make it on fumes 

If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis 
I swear I'll never do nothin' like this 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 

If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 
If I can make it back to Memphis 
I'll never do nothin' like this 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time 

If I can make it back to Memphis 
I said I'll never do nothin' like this 
If I can make it back to Memphis one more time
