If you love somebody enough, you follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis

If you love somebody enough, you'll go where your heart wants to
go
That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis

I know if you had seen her, you'd tell me 'cause you are my
friend
I've got to get back and find out the trouble she's in

If you tell me that she's not here, I'll follow the trail of her
tears
That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis

She'd get mad, and she used to say - that she'd get back to
Memphis one day
That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis

I haven't eaten a bite, or slept the three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis

I've got to find her, and tell her that I love her so
I'll never rest 'til I've found out why she had to go

So thank you for your precious time - forgive me if I start to
cry
That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis - that's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis...
