Never Left Memphis

Tip jar out on a Bayou street

Blues man strumming that slide guitar

Motown drummer with a Detroit beat

Making ends meet playing in a rock n roll bar

Uptown, Downtown

Up North, Down South

Roots spread wide from that ground

And that Mississippi river sound

Never left Memphis

It's on the streets of Beale and BB’s hands up in heaven

Never left Memphis

It's out on mud island and in the moonlight there’s sun records

Shining for the whole world

Through every twist and every turn

It's where everybody goes

'Cause everybody knows the Graceland ghost of Elvis

Never left Memphis

From Gainesville west to Muscle Shoals

To the shores on the coast of California

Midwest roads from Chicago

Rode all the way down to Texas

And never left Memphis

It's on the streets of Beale and BB’s hands up in heaven

Never left Memphis

It's out on mud island and in the moonlight there’s sun records

Shining for the whole world

Through every twist and every turn

It's where everybody goes

'Cause everybody knows the Graceland ghost of Elvis

Never left Memphis

Never left Memphis

Uptown, Downtown

Up North, Down South

Roots spread wide from that ground

And that Mississippi river sound

Never left Memphis

Its on the streets of Beale and BB’s hands up in heaven

Never left Memphis

Its out on mud island and in the moonlight there’s sun records

Shining for the whole world

Through every twist and every turn

It's where everybody goes

'Cause everybody knows the Graceland ghost of Elvis

Never left Memphis

Never left Memphis

Uptown, Downtown

Up North, Down South

Roots spread wide from that ground

And that Mississippi river sound

Never left Memphis

Never left Memphis

Never left Memphis
