(gary harrison/matraca berg)
I've been living on the wrong side of memphis
i'm really breaking away this time
a full tank of gas and a '69 tempest
taking me to that nashville sign
No turning back, i've come too far
i'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
this ain't graceland that's a fact
and i ain't driving a pink cadillac
I've been living on the wrong side of memphis
gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
these cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
and i ain't gotta single thing to lose
I've had this dream from a tender age
calling my name from the opry stage
i can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and i'll be there
I've been living on the wrong side of memphis
i'm really breaking away this time
a full tank of gas and a '69 tempest
taking me to that nashville sign
