Lyrics
SOMETIMES A BOY DON’T NEED NO LECTURES
NOW AND THEN I FIND THE WAY ALONE
ON AN OPEN ROAD A GREENER PASTURE BECKONED
I RECKONED I MIGHT NEVER NEED TO GO BACK HOME
SUNSHINE NEARLY BLINDS A YOUNG MANS TRUE HEART
AND WILLOW TREES CAN BLOW A SKY BLUE SMILE
BUT I’M AS EMPTY AS AN OLD CATHEDRAL
AND ‘BOUT AS LONESOME AS A COUNTRY MILE
LORD LET ME GO BACK HOME TO MEMPHIS
CAUSE I BEEN THERE DONE THAT
BOUGHT THE POSTCARD TOO
LORD LET ME GO BACK HOME TO MEMPHIS
CAUSE I AINT GOT TIME FOR NOBODY NOT SWINGIN THE BLUES
WELL IT’S NOT QUITE LIKE I’M LOSIN’ MY DIRECTION
AND IT AINT QUITE LIKE MY LIFE’S A LOUSY MESS
IT’S JUST THESE DAYS I GOT ALL KINDS OF QUESTIONS
ABOUT WHO AND HOW AND WHY AND WHAT THE HELL COMES NEXT
LORD LET ME GO BACK HOME TO MEMPHIS
CAUSE I BEEN THERE DONE THAT
BOUGHT THE POSTCARD TOO
LORD LET ME GO BACK HOME TO MEMPHIS
CAUSE I AINT GOT TIME FOR NOBODY NOT SWINGIN THE BLUES
