"I Have Never Been To Memphis" Lyrics

I come from California
Where you say no one grows old
Y'all drive to fast.
But you say it so slow.
With that southern style, baby
It drives me crazy.
And I have to laugh.

[Chorus:]
I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there
I will pack my bags, and go.

Oh even though it never rains here,
And the suns always shining.
I have never met a girl like you
And I'm tired of trying.
I have never been to Memphis.

You're all crazy about Jesus
back where you're from.
You get baptized in rivers
Where the deep water runs.
& That's alright by me,
I love that you believe in
Something you can't touch,
Something you can't see.

I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there
I will pack my bags, and go.

Oh even though, I'm not afraid to fly
But I am afraid to fall.
I've been painting it by numbers
You've been splashing it on the wall
And I can see the colors running
Lets me know just where to go after all yeah after all
I've gotta get there baby
Oh yeah, you know I've gotta get myself there

I have never been to Memphis
but if you're there.

I'm on my way [x5]

Gotta get myself to maybe

I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there [x2]

You're all crazy bout Jesus
Back where you're from,
Get baptized in rivers
Where the deep water runs
