C(add9)                               D        C9 
I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis 
                          D 
Really breakin' away this time 
  C(add9)                    D        C9 
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest 
                            D 
takin' me to that Nashville sign 
D 
No turnin' back, I've come too far 
C(add9) 
Headed down 40 with my old guitar 
    D 
The same Graceland and that's a fact 
    C(add9)            D 
And I ain't driving no pink Cadillac 
 
 
I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis 
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes 
these cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless 
They ain't got a single thing to loose 
 
 
Well, I've had this dream from a tender age 
callin' my name from the Opry stage 
I can hear 'em sing loud and clear 
two hundred miles and I'll be there 
 
I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis 
Really breakin' away this time 
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest 
takin' me to that Nashville sign 
Yes, I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis 
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes 
these cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless 
They ain't got a single thing to loose 
 
*Bridge* 
 
I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis 
I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis 
I got my cowboy boots and my rhinestone suit  
I've been livin' on the wrong side of Memphis 
ooh, yeah yeah yeah 
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest 
Takin' me to that Nashville sign
