Something about Memphis, makes me want to sing
Something about Memphis, wish I'd met the king
Something about Memphis, changed everything that I knew
Came here to visit, but I'm staying here
Cause of you
Memphis Tennessee is the only place to be
Where the blues birthed rock and roll
You can plainly see it was music's destiny
To mix rock and blues and flavor it with soul
Something about Memphis, magic fills the air
Something about Memphis, feel it everywhere
Something about Memphis, gives you a new point of view
Came here to visit, but I'm staying here
Cause of you
Memphis Tennessee is the only place to be
Where the blues birthed rock and roll
You can plainly see it was music's destiny
To mix rock and blues, flavor it with soul
Something about Memphis, music takes control
Something about Memphis, satisfies my soul
Something about Memphis, changed everything that I knew
That big wheel keeps turning and I'm staying here
Cause of you
Memphis Tennessee is the only place to be
Blues birthed rock and roll
You can plainly see it was music's destiny
To mix rock and blues, flavor it with soul
Something about Memphis
Something about Memphis
Something about Memphis
Something about Memphis
Gotta do what you gotta do
Down in Memphis
