I come from California
Where you say no one grows old
and y'all drive to fast
But you say it so slow
In that southern style, baby
That always drives me crazy
And I start to laugh

Cause, I have never been to Memphis
but if you're there
I will pack my bag, and go
Cause I don't care, if it never rains here
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 (amen)
back where you're from
You got baptized in rivers
where the deep waters run
That's alright by me
yeah I love that you believe in
something you can't touch
something you can't see

Cause, I have never been to Memphis
but if you're there
I will pack my bag, and go
Even though, never been afraid of flying
but I am afraid to fall
I've been painting by numbers while you're
just splashing them on the wall
And I see the colors running
it lets me know I'm headed home

After all (after all, after all)
After all (after all, after all)
I've got to get myself there (I have never been)
And I've got to get myself there (I have never been)

Cause I have never been to Memphis
but if you're there.
I'm on my way (oh, oh oh oh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way (oh, oh, oh, oh)
I'm on my way
I'm on my way (oh, oh, oh, oh)
