I come from California Where you say no one grows old Y'all drive to fast. But you say it so slow. With that southern style, baby It drives me crazy. And I have to laugh.
[Chorus:] I have never been to Memphis But if you're there I will pack my bags, and go.
Oh even though it never rains here, And 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 back where you're from. You get baptized in rivers Where the deep water runs. & That's alright by me, I love that you believe in Something you can't touch, Something you can't see.
I have never been to Memphis But if you're there I will pack my bags, and go.
Oh even though, I’m not afraid to fly But I am afraid to fall. I've been painting it by numbers You've been splashing it on the wall And I can see the colors running Lets me know just where to go after all yeah after all I've gotta get there baby Oh yeah, you know I've gotta get myself there
I have never been to Memphis but if you're there.
I'm on my way [x5]
Gotta get myself to maybe
I have never been to Memphis But if you're there [x2]
You’re all crazy bout Jesus Back where you’re from, Get baptized in rivers Where the deep water runs
