Lyrics

I was headed for Atlanta
On my way through Tennessee
I stopped for a while in Memphis
That's when you got a hold on me

It's a long, long, long way back to Memphis
It's a long, long, lonely road tonight
It's a long, long, long way back to Memphis
But I just can't get you off my mind

Some say love will drive you crazy
Some say love can make you blind
But I never knew that love could
Be so hard to leave behind

It's a long, long, long way back to Memphis
It's a long, long, lonely road tonight
It's a long, long, long way back to Memphis
But I just can't get you off my mind

On the road on Sunday morning
Heading for the place that I
Hope that you'll be waiting for me
And in your arms I hope to lie

Driving back to San Francisco
With your suitcase and your dog
Wearing smiles fresh as the morning
That we will wear the whole night long

It's a long, long, long way back to Memphis
It's a long, long, lovely road tonight
It's a long, long, long way back to Memphis
And I'm glad we left that place behind
