That’s How I Got to Memphis
[Verse 1]
If you want somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
[Verse 1]
If you love somebody enough
You go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
[Verse 2]
I know if you've seen her you'd tell me 'cause you are my friend
I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in
[Verse 1]
If you tell me she's not here
I'll follow the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
[Verse 1]
She would get mad and she used to say
She would come back to Memphis some day
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so
I'll never rest, 'till I find out why she had to go
[Verse 1]
Thank you for your precious time
Forgive me, if I start to cry
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
... [17x]
If only ever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
