The Band - Back To Memphis Lyrics

Send "Back To Memphis" ringtone to your cell

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. ?
