 Back To Memphis
 If i never saw you
 You'd still live in my dreams
 Calling out from stages
 And music magazines
 ? if i were a painter
 You'd be green and gold
 Carved out of matches
 But broken out of stone
 ? taken from the fire of your fiddle
 Words of unspoken, blinding truth
 If i couldn't see it, i was lost in my youth
 But i'm going back to memphis - after you.
 ? if i could have seen you
 With blood on your bones
 Poison in your fingers
 But music in your soul
 ? you could have been my lover
 Taught me everything i know
 But now we are your children
 Your flowers in the snow
 ? but all you ever wanted was to see the heart of the city, oh
 And all you ever got was hand to mouth
 So i know you'll be walking for a long, long time
 Cause you're going back to memphis - heading south.
 ? brothers till the night came
 And whispered in the pines
 Tempting me with secrets
 To play a game with time
 ? now i feel you in the walls
 And i know you're in the air
 And it's just like i can touch you
 You're living everywhere
 ? but all you ever wanted was to be in the heart of the city, oh
 And all you ever got was handed out
 So i know we'll be walking for a long, long time
 Cause we're going back to memphis - heading south
 Going back to memphis - heading south.?
