Wrong Side Of Memphis
(written by Gary Harrison, Matraca Berg)
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas & a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
No turning back, I've come too far
I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland that's a fact
And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
And I ain't gotta single thing to lose
I've had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud & clear
200 miles & I'll be there
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas & a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
