George Thorogood & The Destroyers - Memphis lyrics

Long Distance Information, give me Memphis, Tennessee Help me find the party that tried to get in touch with me They would not leave a number, but I know the place to call 'Cause my uncle took a message, and he wrote it on the wall Long Distance Information, get in touch with my Marie She's the only one who'd phone me here from Memphis, Tennessee Her home is on the south side, high up on a ridge Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge Long Distance Information, more than that I cannot add Only that I miss her and all the fun we had But we were torn apart, because her Mom did not agree And tore apart our happy home in Memphis, Tennessee Now, last time I saw Marie, she was waving me goodbye With "hurry home" drops on her cheeks that trickled from her eyes Marie is only six years old, Information, please Try to put me through to her in Memphis, Tennessee Yes, oh, yes, Long Distance, I'll accept the charge, I'll pay But which loved one is calling me, I did not hear you say Both are deep within my heart, her Mom and my Marie It's so good to hear your voice from Memphis, Tennessee Oh, you mean so much to me, more than you'll ever know Surely you have not forgot how much I love you so If you would remember, dear, and sometimes talk to me Maybe that would reunite our home in Tennessee Last time I saw you, just before I had to leave You didn't want to see me off and promised not to grieve My heart was torn apart as I looked back at Marie And there the pieces still remain, with you in Tennessee I guess I should stop talking, after all, you placed the call But any way that I can help, you know I'll help you all Then her mother told me to come back and see Marie And live together in our home in Memphis, Tennessee
