Lyrics
take me back to memphis before I lose my senses
take me back to memphis 10-a-see
I'm tired of riding fences won't you take me back to memphis
take me back to memphis where she is
I've got this hammer hammered down
there ain't no chance of breaking down
I'm counting every mile along the way
take me back to memphis before I lose my senses
take me back to memphis 10-a-see
I'm longing for that memphis girl who gave my heart and head a whirl
she showed me where I'm really sposed to be
now I headed for that city and there can't nobody stop me
I'm headed back to Memphis 10-a-see
now every single loving song
that's coming from my radio
they're playing every single song for me
take me back to memphis before I lose my senses
take me back to memphis 10-a-see
I'm tired of riding fences won't you take me back to memphis
take me back to memphis where she is
