All The Way From Memphis Lyrics - Strings Attached - Ian Hunter

{Ian Hunter} 

== Forgot my six-string raiser, hit the sky 

Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised 

Well I rang the information, my axe was cold 

They said she rides the train to Oreoles. 

Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail 

And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails 

And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail 

All the way from Memphis.

Well I got to Oreoles you know, it took a month 

And there was my guitar, electric junk 

Some spade said: 'Rock and rollers, you're all the same' 

'Man that's your instrument' - I felt so ashamed. 

Now its a mighty long way down rock and roll 

Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 

And you look like a star but you're still on the dole 

All the way from Memphis. 

Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock and roll 

From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl 

And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes 

All the way from Memphis. 

Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock and roll 

As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold 

And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old 

All the way from Memphis.
