Riding down the road all the way to Memphis
Looking for a better place to stay
Tired of sun and fun on the beach of Venice
Left my friends and band back in LA
Riding down the road all the way to Memphis
With my guitar hanging in the front seat
Following the footsteps of Elvis
Searching for a new kind of beat
And my car's humming and cruising
Heading to the setting sun
And the sound's pleasantly soothing
Happy when the day is done
Leaving girls and troubles behind
Rolling to the friendly sky
Music's playing
Say goodbye to high and dry!
Driving on the highways of Memphis
Looking for a new place to play
Writing new songs in the sunset
My life has turned in just one day
Playing in the bars of Memphis
Girls hanging round the stage
Living the spirit of Elvis
And the boss pays a much better wage
And my car's humming and cruising
Heading to the setting sun
And the sound's pleasantly soothing
Happy when the day is done
Leaving girls and troubles behind
Rolling to the friendly sky
Music's playing
Say goodbye to high and dry!
