High and Dry

Riding down the road all the way to Memphis Looking for a better place to stay Tired of sun and fun on the beach of Venice Left my friends and band back in LA Riding down the road all the way to Memphis With my guitar hanging in the front seat Following the footsteps of Elvis Searching for a new kind of beat And my car’s humming and cruising Heading to the setting sun And the sound’s pleasantly soothing Happy when the day is done Leaving girls and troubles behind Rolling to the friendly sky Music’s playing Say goodbye to high and dry! Driving on the highways of Memphis Looking for a new place to play Writing new songs in the sunset My life has turned in just one day Playing in the bars of Memphis Girls hanging round the stage Living the spirit of Elvis And the boss pays a much better wage And my car’s humming and cruising Heading to the setting sun And the sound’s pleasantly soothing Happy when the day is done Leaving girls and troubles behind Rolling to the friendly sky Music’s playing Say goodbye to high and dry!
