Joe Jackson - Memphis Lyrics
Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Memphis - where the hell is memphis?I got to get away, study my geographyIm just a shadow of the boy I used to beI used to see the light, now its all a mysteryI used to feel the beat, now I feel a million miles from...Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Memphis - where the hell is memphis?I used dirty words never too excessivelyBut saying rock&roll never seemed so bad to meI dare said it in hip and happy companyI was in and out in a second on my way to...Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Memphis, so where the hell is memphis?I had a one-way ticket and a little radioI turned it on, heard the sound from twenty years agoSomebody smiled and said, thats the only way to goHe died at twenty-one, now nobodys innocent in...Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Somebody turned around, said, I got to disagreeHe wrote that sort of turn people out to anarchyHe made them think about marlon brando on tvI guess they still went down against anything they got in...Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Memphis - where the hell is memphis?I met a wise old man, he had longer hair than meHe said, memphis is nothing like it used to beA hundred dead guitarists lying in the cemetryI felt a sudden chill, now Im not so sure about...Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Memphis - where the hell is memphis?Im on a lonesome train on a lonesome trackI think Ill jump right off, head for home, double backAnd though Im better now I know that no-one knows the factsIm gonna start again, forget I ever heard about...
