Various Artists - All The Way From Memphis lyrics

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 Oriole Now it's 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 Oriole 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 it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles And 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 it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old All the way from Memphis Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles 'n you look like a star but you're really out on parole! All the way from Memphis
