Contraband - All The Way From Memphis lyrics

Forgot my six-string razor and hit the sky Halfway to Memphis before I realized Well, I phoned the information, my axe was cold They said she rides the train to Oreole Now, it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail And the sun burns down on the cold steel rail And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail All the way from Memphis When I got to Oreole, you know, it took a month And there was my guitar, electric junk Some dude said rock'n'rollers, you're all the same Hey man, you play that thing, I felt so ashamed Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford Cities to the Oreoles You look like a star but you're still on the dole All the way from Memphis (Solo) Yeah, it's a mighty long way down to rock'n'roll From the Liverpool Docks to the Hollywood Bowl And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes All the way from Memphis Well it's a mighty long way down to rock'n'roll And your name gets hot and your heart grows cold And you've got to stay a young man, you can never be old All the way from Memphis Now, it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll From the Bradford Cities, to the Oreole And you look like a star but you're out on parole All the way from Memphis
