Lyrics to Memphis

Memphis by Coffey Anderson

Lyrics

Verse 1
Anybody ever had a broken heart but me
They told me love was blind and promised that I couldn’t see
So now I’m lying on the floor watching ceiling fans go round
I’ve got a suitcase packed by the door because I’m leaving town

Chorus

I’m trading my broken heart for a one-way ticket to Memphis
My broken dreams for the keys to the life of my own
I’m trading my broken heart for a one-way ticket to Memphis
I want to know if you’re going to come along

Oh to Memphis…Oh Lord Oh World
Oh to Memphis…Oh Lord Oh World

Verse 2

Anybody ever had to cry yourself to sleep at night
Keep praying and wishing that someone’s going to hold them tight
With nothing but a dream and the clothes that are on your back
Its like you’re always on the right train never ever on the right track

Chorus

I’m trading my broken heart for a one-way ticket to Memphis
My broken dreams for the keys to a life of my own
I’m trading my broken heart for a one-way ticket to Memphis (Lord I want to know)
I want to know if you’re going to come along

Solo

Oh to Memphis…Oh Lord Oh World
Oh to Memphis…Oh Lord Oh World

Solo

Oh to Memphis
