Lyric Wrong Side Of Memphis

(Gary Harrison/Matraca Berg)

I ve been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I m really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a 69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

No turning back, I ve come too far
I m headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain t Graceland that s a fact
And I ain t driving a pink Cadillac

I ve been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin kinda restless
And I ain t gotta single thing to lose

I ve had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I ll be there

I ve been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I m really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a 69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
