Down to Memphis Songtext
von J.J. Cale

Well, I′m going down to Memphis with my heart in my hand
Funny frisky woman that do needs to love me mad
I'm gonna tell her what she wants to, dear
I′ll be kissing soft and low
Yes I'm going down to Memphis
Ain't got too far to go

I′ll be figuring ′round them bushes, searching everywhere
It's all about them Memphis girls, they′re everywhere
They can spread their wings around me
Let them flew in flock
Yes I'm going down to Memphis
Ain′t got too far to go


Ain't no detours on my pathway
No crossroads I can see
I been going down to Memphis
Memphis, Tennessee
With those everlovin′ women
The reason that I know
Yes, I'm going down to Memphis
Ain't got too far to go

You can talk about that costume ball that goes most everywhere
You can see that ol′ man river rollin′ past the city square
You can feel the heat of summer
But there's one thing that I know
Well, I′m going down to Memphis
Ain't got too far to go

Yes, I′m going down to Memphis
Ain't got too far to go

Yes, I′m going down to Memphis
