And though I'm better now I know that no one knows the facts
Memphis, where the hell is Memphis?
I turned it on, heard the sound from twenty years ago
He wrote that sort of turn people out to anarchy
Memphis, where the hell is
Memphis, so where the hell is Memphis?
I had a one-way ticket and a little radio
But saying rock 'n' roll never seemed so bad to me
He said, “Memphis is nothing like it used to be“
Memphis, where the hell is Memphis?
He died at twenty-one, now nobody's innocent in
Somebody turned around, said, I got to disagree
I felt a sudden chill, now I'm not so sure about
I used dirty words never too excessively
Memphis, where the hell is Memphis?
I guess I'll jump right off, head for home, double back
I used to feel the beat, now I feel a million miles from
I met a wise old man, he had longer hair than me
I was in and out in a second on my way to
I'm on a lonesome train, on a lonesome track
I wanna settle in hip and happy company
He made them think about Marlon Brando on TV
A hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemetery
I guess I'll start again, forget I ever heard about
Where the hell is
Where the hell is
Memphis, where the hell is Memphis?
I guess they still went down against anything they got in
I used to see the light, now it's all a mystery
I got to get away, study my geography
Somebody smiled and said, that's the only way to go
I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be
Memphis, where the hell is Memphis?
