I've Never Been To Memphis

I saw my face in the paper today
It said hello to the face that I saw at home
I read a tale of a girl with my name
It was not the one that I know no You shook my hand and you said you understand
And you said that you know where I’m coming from
But the only place that I’ve ever been
Is far far from known
What you say about me Stabs me in the heart
What you read about me is a shot in the dark yeah
I’ve never been to Memphis
I’ve never seen my good-luck star
I’ve never seen Las Vegas lights
Laughing at the dark
I’ve never dragged the train of my dress
Down Elvis Presley Boulevard
I’ve never been to Memphis
Cross my heart hmm
I want to see my name in neon lights
Cause the words that you write
They don’t last my friends
They only shine a day at a time
And leave stains on my hands well
So what’s the use in rolling the dice
When you already know how it’s gonna fall
You think that if you play your cards right
You might deal with us all
What’re gonna do When a seven falls
Will the rolling thunder scatter all of your cards
I’ve never been to Memphis no
I’ve never seen my good-luck star
I’ve never seen Las Vegas lights
Laughing at the dark
I’ve never dragged the train of my dress
Down Elvis Presley Boulevard
I’ve never been to Memphis
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
Ooh yes
Believe me hmm
I’ve never been to Memphis no no
I’ve never seen my good-luck star baby
I wanna see Las Vegas lights yeah
Laughing at the dark
I’ve never dragged the train of my dress
Down Elvis Presley Boulevard
I’ve never been to Memphis
Cross my heart
Cross my heart
I’ve never been to Memphis no no no
I’ve never seen my good-luck star
I’ve never seen Las Vegas lights yeah
Laughing at the dark
I’ve never dragged the train of my dress
Down Elvis Presley Boulevard yeah
I’ve never been to Memphis
Cross my heart
Cross my heart yeah
I’ve never been to Memphis no no
I’ve never seen my good-luck star
I’ve never seen Las Vegas lights yeah
Laughing at the dark
I’ve never dragged the train of my dress
Through the Nevada desert sand
I’ve never been to Memphis
Raise my hand
Raise my hand baby yeah
Oh yeah
Tell it how it is yeah
