I've got a little money stashed away

And that's what I've found
Oh, no I didn't wanna settle for just settlin' down
I didn't go to Memphis to see 'The King'

But I've been waiting for you
But I've been waiting for you, I've been waiting for you, yeah

But I've been waiting for you
I could've found someone to give my love to
Anticipating escaping with you
But there's a whole lot of livin' that I wanna do
I could've found someone to give my love to
Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
But I'd rather see the world from your point of view

I could've found someone just to give my love to
I didn't go to Memphis to see 'The King'
Just sittin' on ready for a rainy day
I was lookin' for the right one, baby

I didn't go to Memphis to see 'The King'
Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Or ride the Mississippi down to New Orleans
Doin' all the crazy things that I didn't do
