On Our Way To Memphis
We grew up ten miles from each other
Lived South of Tupelo
Folks told us we had no future
Then we heard Elvis on the radio
The times and music were a changing
It was a crazy world
Left Tupelo, early morning
Nothin to lose, we would give it a whirl
(Chorus)
On our way to Memphis in a Rocket 88
A Doghouse Bass on the roof headed Memphis way
We play rockabilly music and we got what it takes
On our way to Memphis in a Rocket 88
We spent the summer pickin cotton
Bought us some Blue Suede Shoes
We looked the part to be a star
So get ready we are headed for you
(Chorus)
On our way to Memphis in a Rocket 88
A Doghouse Bass on the roof headed Memphis way
We play rockabilly music and we got what it takes
On our way to Memphis in a Rocket 88
