BACK TO MEMPHIS

When you've done all you need to do

And you've had more trouble than you can use

And you've painted every road that you can find

When you've seen the sun set coast to coast

And the rise and the fall and the highs and the lows

And you're at the point where you know you're wasting time

Baby, think about this

When you need a little tenderness

Come on back to Memphis

Come on back to Memphis

When you arrived in California

Don't say that I didn't warn you how

You might be treated while you're there

When you walked the streets of New York and it hurt your feet

And you knocked on doors and you realized that sometimes no one cares

There's no reason to regret

And if you feel that emptiness

Just come on back to Memphis

Come on back to Memphis

Your memory runs deep as these waters

Under a bridge where we dream

And all of the times that we borrowed

It's still here, you and me

When you've held all you can hold

And you can't tell what you've been told

And every step you take seems out of place

If you need somewhere to rest

Or you're just looking for a little more or less

Come on back to Memphis

Come on back to Memphis

Come on back to Memphis

Come on back to Memphis
