Lyrics

Headed down the highway, wonder where I'm bound
Leaving all the misery to the streets of my hometown
I've got the road before me, the time is close at hand
It's an age old story, I'll reach that promised land
On the Road to Memphis
Gonna take my Sally, watch that river run
Maybe we'll go southbound, Highway 61
Maybe we'll see Elvis, or meet the Man in Black
I know you say they passed away, they'll soon be coming back
On the Road to Memphis
Take me to that river, dip me down in the water
Gonna get some soul, they say
Take me to that river, dip me down
Take me to that river, dip me down in the water
Gonna get some soul, they say
Take me to that river, dip me down
Lay your hands upon me, I have to come to hear that sound
I've come to get forgiveness in the rhythm of this town
On the streets of Memphis, the beat goes on and on
Down on Beale I hear Lucille, the thrill is never gone
On the Road to Memphis
Let me tell you people, there are things a man can choose
Northern Mississippi's got the lowdown, Delta Blues
Show me mercy, Memphis, for now I feel so low
I'd rather die, than say goodbye when it's time to get back home
On the Road to Memphis
I'm on the Road to Memphis
