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' not here you can follow the trail of my tears
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
She'd get mad and she used to say that 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 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
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 cryin'
That's how I got to Memphis that's how I got to Memphis
