Put on my blue suede shoes and I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pourin' rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look on over me
Got a first class ticket and I'm as blue as a boy can be

Yeah I'm walkin' in Memphis
Walkin' with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walkin' in Memphis
Do I really feel the way I feel?

When you love somebody enough
Yeah you'll go wherever she goes
That's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis

Yeah when you love somebody enough
You'll heart will go wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis

I haven't eaten a bite
In at least three days and three nights
That's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis
I've traveled highways, I've traveled byways
I've been on every plane and car and everything
Oh but I can't find my baby, I walk Beale Street from end to end

Oh if you've seen her could you tell me
Could you tell me where she's gone
'Cause she's why I got to Memphis
Oh she's why I got to Memphis

Oh she'd be mad, she'd be mad and she used to say
"Why don't you come back and see me in Memphis someday?"
That's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis

Oh I haven't eaten a bite
In over three, three Southaven days and nights
And hat's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis

If you love somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis

Yeah in my mind I go back a long time ago
To BB King's and these peoples 130th show
That's how I got to Memphis
I thank God I got to Memphis
Yeah that's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis
One more time
That's how I got to Memphis
How I got to Memphis
