Memory To Memphis

(album: The Way I Wanna Go - 2021)

I took it down to Panama city
Shot it with some salt 'n' lime
Flew it out to Colorado
Tried to get it Rocky Mountain high
Thought I lost it down in Austin
But it followed me back home
Now you looking at a man with a brand new plan
Girl, I gotta get you gone

I'm taking your memory to Memphis
That's what I'm gonna do
I get a little butter on my biscuit
Dip it in barbecue
Wash my soul in the Mississippi
Baptize it in the blues
I'm taking your memory to Memphis (Ooh)
I'm gonna get me over you
(Gonna get me over you, gonna get me, get me over you) Yeah
(Gonna get me over you, gonna get me, get me over you)

I'm gonna drag it on down to Beale Street
Find some healing in a hurting song
Sip that top-shelf Tennessee whiskey
Talking B-B Lucille strong (Strong)
Catch a ride on over to Graceland
Tell my troubles to The King (Whoa-oh)
Get all dressed up Sunday morning
Go get right with Reverend Green (Reverend Green)
Yeah, let him set me free (Set me free)

I'm taking your memory to Memphis
That's what I'm gonna do (What I'm gonna do)
So get a little butter on my biscuit (On my biscuit)
C'mon, dip it in barbecue (Barbecue)
Wash my soul in the Mississippi (My soul)
Baptize it in the blues
I'm taking your memory to Memphis (Ooh)
I'm gonna get me over you
(Gonna get me over you, gonna get me, get me over you) Oh, get me over you
(Gonna get me over you, gonna get me, get me over you, yeah) Get me, get me, get me over you

I been trying to shake you
Since the day you said goodbye
There's only place left to go to get you off my mind

I'ma taking your memory to Memphis (Memphis)
That's what I'm gonna do (What I'm gonna do)
Get a little butter on my biscuit (On my biscuit)
C'mon, dip it in barbecue (Dip it in barbecue)
Wash my soul in the Mississippi (My soul)
Baptize it in the blues (Baptize it in the blues)
I'm taking your memory to Memphis (Oh)
I'm gonna get me over you
I'm taking your memory to Memphis (Ooh)
I'm gonna get me over you
(Gonna get me over you, gonna get me, get me over you) Gonna get me, oh yeah
(Gonna get me over you, gonna get me, get me over you) Get me, get me over you
