Lyrics:
Halfway to Memphis
Driving in the rain
Self confidence slipping
Still running away
From the face in the mirror
The lines on the face
From New
throwed her clothes outdoor
Verse 2
Goin' to Memphis, see that World's Fair
Reason I'm goin', baby, there
Goin' to Memphis, see that World's Fair
Reason
the world
In a Holiday Inn by a nameless river
Renew the assault on my lungs and my liver
And while I'm waiting for the company man
Slip on my kimono
Miss ol' St. Louis, wish I was back
Picking my guitar by the railroad track
All them pretty women's, hangin' 'round me
Miss ol' St. Louis, how it
Got on a bus in Memphis,
Destination Rome.
Georgia ain't no paradise
but a place I just call home.
I sat next to a broken hearted bride
She was
to St Louis later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here but she's gone boy she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis but she just walked up
Later on down the river
A freighter said she's been here but
She's gone boy she's gone
I found her trail in Memphis but
She just walked up the block
She
I remember those wide-eyed days in Memphis
Wasn't nothing but a real good time
Young, wild and carefree misfits
The smell of fire, cigarettes,
Standing on the corner, I didn't mean no harm
When a police come, he took me by the arm
Was down in Memphis, corner of Beale and Main
Said "hey
(North Memphis, South Memphis, West Memphis, Wood, Orange Mounds)
Bitch I ran up, fled the scene when the feds up
Choppa knock his fucking head off
Yellow tape along the river's edge
Helicopters circling overhead
Three little boys coming home from school
Gone forever 'neath the Memphis moon
Got on a bus in Memphis
Destination Rome
Georgia ain't no paradise
But a place I just call home
I sat next to a broken hearted bride
She was cryin',
a brisket nice and tender
Best you'll ever try
Way she cooks so nice and slow
Will keep you satisfied
(chorus)
Kansas City to Memphis town
Arkansas on down
A low setting sun
In a Memphis sky
The clouds roll by
A shot silk tie
One shot rang
A still distant thunder
Amazing grace sang in tears
From one king
eyes and dreams of
Walking to Memphis, becoming a dentist
Anything but this
I mean, she likes her life as a mother and wife
But is that all she is?
that old mississippi
coz heavens waitin on the other side
If I can get enough to get to Memphis
Ill be home by the morning light
I'm a fool I'm told,

lonesome|And It makes wonder how the old folks are at home||CHORUS|Now the years have blown by me like the wind through the pines|But the song of the south is
to forget us
Maybe by Memphis
It's a lonely stretch of interstate 40
when a long forgotten memory
keepin me company
Questions. Wondering. Could've been
a cabaret,
A job in memphis, the second big town we came to.
Oh how hard it was for anna!
Beautiful clothes can make a good girl particular ¡º
When
she liked best
She had Elvis I Love You
Tattooed on her breast
When they landed in Memphis,
Well, her heart beat so fast
She'd dreamed for so
Girl got drunk, close that door
Poor Black Mattie ain't got change o' clothes
Girl got drunk, throwed her clothes outdoor
Goin' to Memphis, see
There's a fire in my soul, burnin' hotter than July
Watchin' those neon lights roll by
This little country girl's ready to ride
Hop that midnight
standing alone on the eastside
When she give-a me a smile
She said, "I like it here, watchin' what goes by"
And I don't doubt question why
I said, "Hey,
