All The Way From Memphis

Forgot my six-string razor - hit the sky
 Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised
 Well I rang the information - my axe was cold
 They said she rides the train to Oreoles
 Now its a mighty long way down the dusty trail
 And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
 'N I look like a bum 'n I crawl like a snail
 All the way from Memphis
 Well I got to Oreoles y'know - it took a month
 And there was my guitar, electric junk.
 Some spade said "Rock'n'rollers, you're all the same.
 Man that's your instrument." I felt so ashamed.
 Now its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
 Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
 'N you look like a star but you're still on the dole
 All the way from Memphis
 Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
 From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl
 'N you climb up the mountains 'n you fall down the holes
 All the way from Memphis
 Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
 As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold
 'N you gotta stay young man, you can never be old
 All the way from Memphis
 Yeah its a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
 Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles
 'N you look like a star but you're really out on parole!
 All the way from Memphis
