Can't Go Back To Memphis

Can't Go Back To Memphis
 Randy Bachman
 Low down dealin's in Memphis
 A card game in a back room
 I was lookin' at my last dollar
 Hopin' lady luck would come by soon
 I played out on the east side
 Till I heard my reputation was in doubt
 It was starting to look like a bad ride
 It looked like time for gettin' out
 They raised the betting limit
 The cards were falling fast
 I bet away my future,
 I already lost my past
 Now I can't go back to Memphis
 I played out every game
 I can't go back to Memphis
 Everybody knows my name
 Too many people wanna even out the score
 And I can't go back to Memphis no more
 I did my best to beat the system
 But the system put me back in my palace
 They maintained a delicate balance
 Where no one got in nobody's face
 I was tryin' to make a dollar
 Just survivin' in the street
 I fought the gangs, I fought the law
 But they both had me beat
 Now I can't go back to Memphis
 I played out every game
 I can't go back to Memphis
 Everybody knows my name
 Too many people wanna even out the score
 And I can't go back to Memphis no more
 I can't go back to Memphis
 I can't go back to Memphis
 No, no, I can't go back to Memphis
 No, no, no, no I can't go back to Memphis
 No, no, no, no
 Too many people wanna even out the score
 And I can't go back to Memphis no more
