Never Left Memphis

Tip jar out on a Bayou street Blues man strumming that slide guitar Motown drummer with a Detroit beat Making ends meet playing in a rock n roll bar Uptown Downtown Up North Down South Roots spread wide from that ground And that Mississippi river sound Never left Memphis Its on the streets of Beale & BB’s hands up in heaven Never left Memphis Its out on mud island & in the moonlight there’s sun records Shining for the whole world Through every twist & every turn Its where everybody goes Cause everybody knows the Graceland ghost of Elvis Never left Memphis Never left Memphis From Gainesville west to Muscle Shoals To the shores on the coast of California Midwest roads from Chicago Rode all the way down to Texas And never left Memphis Its on the streets of Beale & BB’s hands up in heaven Never left Memphis Its out on mud island & in the moonlight there’s sun records Shining for the whole world Through every twist & every turn Its where everybody goes Cause everybody knows the Graceland ghost of Elvis Never left Memphis Never left Memphis Uptown Downtown Up North Down South Roots spread wide from that ground And that Mississippi river sound Never left Memphis Its on the streets of Beale & BB’s hands up in heaven Never left Memphis Its out on mud island & in the moonlight there’s sun records Shining for the whole world Through every twist & every turn Its where everybody goes Cause everybody knows the Graceland ghost of Elvis Never left Memphis Never left Memphis.
