Lyrics

[Verse 1]

The day since I met her

I can't believe it's true

She came here from Memphis

Across the ocean, sailin'

I saw her

And I pleaded

Why do you come so far?

And she said

[Verse 2]

Tryin' to get to you

How I tried to get to you

Tryin' to get to you

[Verse 3]

I'm sendin' a letter

I'll send it right to you

I'll send it to Memphis

I know that someday

Everything I needed

And I wanted

Used to be that my head

Was haunted

[Verse 4]

And all these sirens

They make me mad

And all this violence

It brings me down

[Verse 5]

I feel strong

I feel lucky

[Verse 6]

Tryin' to get to you

Said, I'm gonna get to you

Tryin' to get to you
