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
