The day since i met her I can't believe it's true She came here from memphis Across the ocean sailing And i saw her And i pleaded Why do you come so far And she said Trying to get to you How i tried to get you Trying to get you I'm sending a letter I'll send it right to you I'll send it to memphis I know that someday Everything i needed And i wanted Used to be that my head Was haunted And all these sirens They make me mad And all this violence It brings me down I feel strong I feel lucky Trying to get to you Said i'm going to get to you Trying to get to you
