She came here from Memphis
Used to be that my head was haunted
I'll send it right to you
I feel strong, I feel lucky
And all this violence it brings me down
I'm sending a letter
I know that someday
Trying to get to you
I'll send it to Memphis
And all these sirens they make me mad
How I tried to get to you
I saw her and I pleaded
Across the ocean sailing
Trying to get to you
Why do you come so far and she said
Trying to get to you
Everything I needed and I wanted
Said I'm gonna get to you
