Going Down to Memphis

Start

Intro

Left my home when I was young

With nothing but a dream and song

Now I'm worn and I'm undone

Been away from home too long

Verse 1

Greyhound ticket in my hand

Guitar case and one-night stand

Every town feels just the same

When you're chasing fortune and fame

Pre-Chorus

These blues run deep in my bones

Too many nights I've spent alone

Chorus

Going down to Memphis

Lord I'm feeling so blue

Going down to Memphis

Trying to make it through[Chorus]

Going down to Memphis

Lord I'm feeling so blue

Going down to Memphis

Trying to make it through

Verse 2

Muddy waters rolling by

Cotton fields stretch to the sky

Old church bells ring out tonight

Praying for my soul to find the light

Pre-Chorus

The blues is calling my name

My heart's burning like a flame

Chorus

Going down to Memphis

Lord I'm feeling so blue

Going down to Memphis

Trying to make it through[Chorus]

Going down to Memphis

Lord I'm feeling so blue

Going down to Memphis

Trying to make it through

Verse 2

Muddy waters rolling by

Cotton fields stretch to the sky

Old church bells ring out tonight

Praying for my soul to find the light

Pre-Chorus

The blues is calling my name

My heart's burning like a flame

Chorus

Going down to Memphis

Lord I'm feeling so blue

Going down to Memphis

Trying to make it through

Verse 3

Mississippi delta sun

Beating down on everyone

Ghost of Beale Street in my mind

Searching for the peace I cannot find

Bridge

Been too long on this dusty road

Carrying such a heavy load

Time to lay these troubles down

In that old familiar town

Chorus

Going down to Memphis

Lord I'm feeling so blue

Going down to Memphis

Trying to make it through

End
