I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Really breakin' 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
Headed down forty with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland and well, that's a fact
And I ain't drivin' no pink Cadillac

I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
Ain't gotta single thing to lose

I've had this dream from a tender age
Callin' my name from the Opry Stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
Two hundred miles and I'll be there

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Really breakin' away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
Ain't gotta single thing to lose

Oh oh, I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis
Yeah, yeah, I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis
I've got the cowboy boots and the rhinestone suit
I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis

A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
