about

Roderick/Ashford (Clean Slate Music-BMI)

lyrics

1. Gone to Memphis/Sweet Southern
People often ask me
Honey why do you stay
Well I hand 'em down some reason
Cause it's easier that way
You could bet your fondest dollar
Some sweet southern day
When the train-fare costs a nickel
And the hotels cost a dime
I'd be down on the road
Gone to Memphis

Through another week just barely
Nothin left to say
Just waitin' on some some something
Well you think I'd learn someday
Somethin' aint for nothin'
And that's what I got to pay
For if I got paid for singin' each sweet
Southern day away
I'd be down on the road
Gone to Memphis

This low lazy livin'
Gonna make some dreamer pay
We'll trade away tomorrow
For one sweet southern day
But time is cheap until you see
Weeks just slip away
Ill be down on the road
Gone to Memphis
