All the Way to Memphis Lyrics by Sananda Maitreya

The Sphinx

0

I fell over backwards when I got the news
She was a friend of many years
I pulled over off a gravel road somewhere
I’m in a mood to shed my blues, I’m in a mood
‘Cause I left Tallahassee in the rain
And I drove all the night through Georgia
And I reached Tennessee before sunrise
And I cried all the way to Memphis
Some fingerprints were lifted from her bedside tray
She never went to work that day
Her killer was a man, she met in acting class
Who cast her in his foul play, his foul play
‘Cause I left Tallahassee in the rain
And I drove all the night through Georgia
And I reached Tennessee before sunrise
And I cried all the way to Memphis
An apple from the orchard falls onto the ground
And if there are no worms around
The sun will take and bake into a rotting core
Until the seeds are there no more, are there no more
‘Cause I left Tallahassee in the rain
And I drove all the night through Georgia
And I reached Tennessee before sunrise
And I cried all the way to Memphis
