Runnin' Down to Memphis Songtext
von Eggs Over Easy

Well, I′m riding on an airplane down to Memphis
Riding down to Memphis, Tennessee
Flying down to Memphis
Tryin' to get back to my senses
And I′m a-running down to Memphis, Tennessee

Well, I used to know this girl in New York City
She was just the sweetest thing to me
Well, the New York girls are pretty
But I can't take the city
And I'm a-running down to Memphis, Tennessee


Flying on an airplane down to Memphis
Gonna give the folks at home a look at me
Well, I don′t know what afflicts me
But I′ll soon be in Dixie
And I'm a-running down to Memphis, Tennessee

Well, I was trying to find a friend in New York City
No one seems to like the likes of me
Well, I′m a-gettin' tired of lookin′
And I miss my mama's cookin′
And I'm a-running down to Memphis, Tennessee

Flying on an airplane down to Memphis
Gonna give the folks at home a look at me
Well, you ain't hardly met me
But you can just forget me
′Cause I′m a-running down to Memphis, Tennessee


Like I said, I'm flying on an airplane down to Memphis
Gonna give the folks at home a look at me
Well, I′m a-running down to Memphis
Tryin' to get back to my senses
And I′m a-running down to Memphis, Tennessee
