When I got to Memphis
To put my ol' baby down
Despair was all around me
Confusion is what I found
So I called me the sheriff
I said bring my wife the gun
But please don't let her hurt me now
That girl just havin' fun
He said

I can't take you to heaven
I can't save your soul
I can't promise forever
Hey, yeah save my soul
Hey now, whoooaa save my soul
Got my heart in your hands
I can't feel, feel my soul

Well I found me a doctor
To get me what I need
Paranoia had surround me
Smoke and fire is what I see
So he hands me a bible
To take my last stand
But the devil he done ignore
While the doctor does all he can, yeah

I can't take you to heaven
I can't save your soul
I can't promise forever
Hey, yeah save my soul
Hmm, whoa, save my soul
Got my heart in your hands
I can't feel, feel my soul

Got my heart in your hands
I can't, feel
Got my heart in your hands
I can't feel, feel my soul
