That’s How I Got To Memphis
If you love somebody enough
You'll follow wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

I haven't eaten a bite
It's been three long days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

If you see her, please tell me, now won't you tell me, my friend
I've got to find her to find out this trouble she's in, again
And if you find out she ain't here, boy you can follow the trail of my tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

She'd get mad and she used to say
Boy, I'm goin' to go back to Memphis someday
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

Thank you for your precious time
Aw, but forgive me if I start to cryin'
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
I've got to find her and tell her how I love her so
I will not rest till I find out why she had to go
And if you love somebody enough, just go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
