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's 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 crying
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
