Mott The Hoople - All The Way From Memphis Lyrics
(ian hunter)Forgot my six-string razor - hit the skyHalf way to memphis fore I realisedWell I rang the information - my axe was coldThey said she rides the train to oreolesNow its a mighty long way down the dusty trailAnd the sun burns hot on the cold steel railsn I look like a bum n I crawl like a snailAll the way from memphisWell I got to oreoles yknow - it took a monthAnd there was my guitar, electric junk.Some spade said rocknrollers, youre all the same.Man thats your instrument. I felt so ashamed.Now its a mighty long way down rocknrollThrough the bradford cities and the oreolesn you look like a star but youre still on the doleAll the way from memphisYeah its a mighty long way down rocknrollFrom the liverpool docks to the hollywood bowln you climb up the mountains n you fall down the holesAll the way from memphisYeah its a mighty long way down rocknrollAs your name gets hot so your heart grows coldn you gotta stay young man, you can never be oldAll the way from memphisYeah its a mighty long way down rocknrollThrough the bradford cities and the oreolesn you look like a star but youre really out on parole!All the way from memphis
