I know you want me to stay here
I know you're full of fear
I don't know what's waiting there
But I know there's nothing here
So I'm going back to Memphis
Not sure what I'll find
But I know that if I stay here
That I'm bound to lose my mind
When I get back to Memphis
Won't know what's in store
The life I knew was over
But I know I was meant for more
So I'm going back to Memphis
Just you wait and see
Gonna get lost in the music
Until my soul is finally free
Not a penny to my name
I'll be alright just the same
Mamma didn't raise no fool
I know I'll make it through
And that music's gonna catch my wings
And life's gonna find me
Back on the high side and free
I'll be alright in Memphis
This much I know
I know you want me to rest
But I've got my mamma's gypsy soul
So I'm going back to Memphis
Don't care what I find
I'll let Memphis heal my broken heart
One note at a time
I'm going back to Memphis
I'm going back to Memphis
I'm going back to Memphis yeah
Gonna be alright in Memphis
