If you love somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

If you love somebody enough
You'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me
'Cause you are my friend
I've got to find her
And find out the trouble she's in

If you tell me that she's not here
I'll follow the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

(Instrumental Break)

She would get mad and she used to say
That she'd come back to Memphis some day
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

I haven't eaten a bite
Or slept for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

I've got to find her
And tell her that I love her so
I'll never rest till I find out
Why she had to go

Thank you for your precious time
Forgive me if I start to cryin'
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how ........... FADE
