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
If you love somebody enough you'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis

I know if you'd seen her you'd tell me cause you are my friend
I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in
And if you tell me she's not here you can follow the trail of my tears
That's how I got to Memphis yeah that's how I got to Memphis

(She get mad and she used to say) she get mad and she used to say
(She'd come back to Memphis some day) she'd come back to Memphis some day
(That's how I got to Memphis) that's how I got to Memphis
(I haven't eaten a bite) I haven't eaten a bite
(Or slept for three days and nights) or slept for three days and nights
(That's how I got to Memphis) that's how I got to Memphis

I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so
And I'll never rest till I find out why she had to go
So thank you for your precious time forgive me if I start to cry
That's how I got to Memphis yeah that's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis don't you know 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
