[Verse 1]
Memphis in the mirror
Trouble on my mind
Down the Mississippi
Leaving you behind
Thought I could do better
Chasing down a dream
So I loaded up the truck
And I headed out for New Orleans

[Verse 2]
Down in Louisiana
It's 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 Louisiana's fault
That I miss you so bad

[Chorus]
When I get to Memphis
I won't be feeling blue
I've come back to my senses
I'm coming home to you

[Verse 3]
Thought that it was over
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

[Chorus]
When I get to Memphis
I won't be feeling blue
I've come back to my senses
I'm coming home to you

[Outro]
When I get to Memphis
I won't be feeling blue
I've come back to my senses
I'm coming home to you
Oh 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've come back to my senses
I'm coming home to you
