Lyric That s How I Got to Memphis

(Tom T. Hall)

If you love somebody enough you ll 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 d seen her you d tell me cause you are my friend
I ve got to find her and find out the trouble she s in
And if you tell me she not here you can 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 come back to Memphis some day
That s how I got to Memphis, that s how I got to Memphis
I haven t eaten a bite or slept for 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 till I find out why she had to go
So thank you for your precious time, forgive me if I start to cryin
That s how I got to Memphis, that s how I got to Memphis...
