Ian Montez - Broke Down in Memphis Lyrics

A long time ago
About six or seven years ago
The engine blew
I began to lose control
We broke down in Memphis

What to do
We don't quite really know
Looks like Graceland is three miles down the road
We broke down in Memphis

Broke down in Memphis
We gotta sightsee
Broke down in Memphis
Why won't you let me be
Baby, I know you really wanna leave
But the king, the king, he's calling me
Baby, I gotta see where rock and roll was born

Come on, baby
What are we waiting for
Quick let's hurry
Already have my pompadour
We broke down in Memphis

We're at the gate
I really can't believe it's true
I can't help falling in love with you
We broke down in Memphis

Broke down in Memphis
We gotta sightsee
Broke down in Memphis
Why won't you let me be
Baby, I know you really wanna leave
But the king, the king, he's calling me
Baby, I gotta see where rock and roll was born

The hall of gold, the jumpsuits, the diamond rings
Neckerchiefs, silk shirts, the whole damn thing
We broke down in Memphis

As I walk
His presence looms over me
The girl next to me seems to disagree
We broke down in Memphis

Broke down in Memphis
We gotta sightsee
Broke down in Memphis
Why won't you let me be
Baby, I know you really wanna leave
But the king, the king, he's calling me
Baby, I gotta see where rock and roll was born

Well, the car is fixed
Looks like we gotta go
What the hell
I'm staying till tomorrow
We broke down in Memphis

Maybe one day
When my music starts to grow
I'll be invited to play a tribute show
We broke down in Memphis

Broke down in Memphis
We gotta sightsee
Broke down in Memphis
Why won't you let me be
Baby, I know you really wanna leave
But the king, the king, he's calling me
Baby, I gotta see where rock and roll was born
Baby, I gotta see where rock and roll was born
Baby, I gotta see where rock and roll was born
Baby, I gotta see where rock and roll was born
