Trisha Yearwood - Wrong Side Of Memphis Lyrics

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

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 been living on the wrong side of Memphis

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis

I got the cowboy boots and the run storm suit

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis

A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest

Taking me to that Nashville sign
