Driving down to Memphis To see what I can see Trying to get away from All these people chasing me When I tried to tell them Something's looking wrong They said they would hang me Get back where I belong I've got to get away Driving down to Memphis Get me out of here I've got to get away See the burning water Smoke is in the air See the people turning Who couldn't give a care See the smiling vulture Wine glass in his hand See the sneer across his face As darkness fills the land I've got to get away Driving down to Memphis Get me out of here I've got to get away I've got to get away Driving down to Memphis Get me out of here
