[Verse 1: Rosanne Cash]
If you love somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

[Verse 2: Rosanne Cash]
If you love somebody enough
You'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

[Bridge: Rosanne Cash]
I know if you've seen him
You'd tell me cause you are my friend
I've got to find him
And find out the trouble he's in

[Verse 3: Rosanne Cash]
And if you tell me he's not here
You can follow the trail of my tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 4: Rosanne Cash]
He'd get mad and he used to say
He'd go back and find her someday
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

[Verse 5: Johnny Cash]
I haven't eaten a bite
Or slept for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

[Outro: Johnny & Rosanne Cash]
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got up to Memphis
