All The Way From Memphis [Live (2002 / Sentrum Scene, Oslo)]

Forgot my six-string razor, hit the sky

Half way to

Memphis 'fore

I realized

Well, I rang the information my axe was cold

They said she rides the train to

OreolesNow it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail

And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails

And I look like a bum and

I crawl like a snail

All the way from

MemphisWell,

I got to Oreoles you know it took a month

And there was my guitar, electric junk

Some spade said, "Rock and rollers, you're all the same"

Man that's your instrument,

I felt so ashamed

Now it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

Through the

Bradford Cities and the

OreolesAnd you look like a star but you're still on the dole

All the way from

MemphisYeah, it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

From the Liverpool docks to the

Hollywood

BowlAnd you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes

All the way from

MemphisYeah, it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold

And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old

All the way from

MemphisYeah, it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll

Through the

Bradford Cities and the

OreolesAnd you look like a star but you're really out on parole

All the way from

Memphis
