One, two, three, four
Do the wheels always turn this slow on Music Row?
That first Memphis sign says 199 miles to go
I got a suitcase full of the blues
A guitar and green suede shoes
And I’m headed to where they know my tune
I gave up on Memphis one Saturday
Said goodbye to Beale St. and drove away
I gave up on Memphis and now I see
That Memphis never gave up on me
Memphis never gave up on me
Feel the heartbeat of the delta is following me
I guess it somehow drifted up against that muddy Mississippi
Got a band that loves to play
Some friends that’ll let us stay
And a soulful town that just keeps pouring out
I gave up on Memphis one Saturday
Said goodbye to Beale St. and drove away
I gave up on Memphis and now I see
That Memphis never gave up on me
Memphis never gave up on me
Thanks for the great
Thanks for the faith
Of saving my soul
And saving my place
Cause I gave up on Memphis that Saturday
I said goodbye to Beale St and drove away
I gave up on Memphis but now I see
Memphis never gave up on me
Memphis never gave up on me
Memphis never gave up on me
So Memphis please don’t ever give up on me
