Will Kimbrough - When I Get to Memphis Lyrics

Memphis in the mirror
Trouble on my mind
Down the Mississippi
Leaving you behind
I thought I could do better
Chasing down a dream
So I loaded up the truck
And headed out for New Orleans

Down in Louisiana
Such a charming life down there
Gumbo on the table
Music in the air
I let the Bon Ton Roulez
The best I ever had
But it ain't Louisiana's fault
That I miss you so bad

When I get to Memphis
I won't be feeling blue
I've come back to my senses
I'm coming home to you
I thought that it was over
I thought that we were through
I sure learned my lesson
I'm sure missing you

Down in Louisiana
I can't hardly breathe
And I can't hardly wait
To get on back to Tennessee
