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 I haven't eaten a bite It's been three long days and nights That's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis If you see her, please tell me, now won't you tell me, my friend I've got to find her to find out this trouble she's in, again And if you find out she ain't here, boy 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
Boy, I'm goin' to go back to Memphis someday That's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis Thank you for your precious time Aw, but forgive me if I start to cryin' That's how I got to Memphis That's how I got to Memphis I've got to find her and tell her how I love her so I will not rest till I find out why she had to go And if you love somebody enough, just go where your heart wants to go 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
