Memphis (Live)

[Chorus]

Memphis

So where the hell is Memphis?

[Verse 1]

I got to get away, study my geography

I'm just a shadow of the boy I used to be

I used to see the light, now it's all a mystery

I used to feel the beat, now I feel a million miles from

[Chorus]

Memphis

So where the hell is Memphis?

[Verse 2]

I use dirty words, never too excessively

But saying "rock 'n' roll" never seemed so bad to me

I once said it in hip and happy company

I was in and out in a second on my way to

[Chorus]

Memphis

So where the hell is Memphis?

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]

Memphis

Yeah, where the hell is Memphis?

[Verse 3]

I had a one-way ticket and a little radio

I turned it on, heard a song from twenty years ago

Somebody smiled and said, that's the only way to go

He died at twenty-one, now nobody's innocent in

[Chorus]

Memphis

So where the hell is Memphis?

[Verse 4]

Somebody turned around, said, I got to disagree

He wrote a song to turn people onto anarchy

He made me think about Marlon Brando on TV

I guess they still rebel against anything they got in

[Chorus]

Memphis

So where the hell is Memphis?

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 5]

I met a wise old man, he had longer hair than me

He said, Memphis is nothing like it used to be

A hundred dead guitars lying in a cemet'ry

I felt a sudden chill, now I'm not so sure about

[Chorus]

Memphis

So where the hell is Memphis?

[Verse 6]

I'm on a lonesome train on a lonesome track

I guess I'll jump right off and head for home, double back

I know I'm better now, I know that no one knows the facts

I guess I'll start again, forget I ever heard about

[Chorus]

Memphis

So where the hell is

So where the hell is

So where the hell is

Where the hell is Memphis?
