lyrics

I hitched a ride over to Memphis town
Got as far as Nashville when she quit us, and broke down
"God Damn," I thought, "Ain't it just right?"
Aiming for Graceland but I'm still lost in this night - Mercy

There's still nothing worse than watching her go
The last of the wood fire before the cold
I wander and I wander and you best believe
I'll wander till some god remembers me

I tried my luck on the Ole Row
Stood on the corner playin' old songs I used to know, oh man …
Earned what i could for the bus fare
Nickels and dimes and the rest reminded me I don't belong here

I've spent too long living this way
Wonderin' if the devil is bound to stay
Baskin' in the moonlight howling' for the day
Runnin' with the wolves there'll be hell to pay
Waitin' on the Shepard, for the lamb I pray
Waitin' on the Shepard, on the lamb I prey

Only nine more stops to Beale Street
Ain't been this far south since my hasty retreat, oh man …
Figured I'd go where the Kings die
Order a bourbon or whiskey, I don't give a damn which is right
