Verse 1:
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
If you love somebody enough, you'll go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis

Verse 2:
I know if you've seen her you'd tell me 'cause your are my friend
I've got to find her and find out the trouble she's in
If you tell me that she's not here, I'll follow the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis

Verse 3:
She'd get mad and she used to say she'd come back to Memphis someday
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis
I haven't eaten a bite or slep for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis

Verse 4:
I've got to find her and tell her that I love her so
I'll never rest 'til I find out why she had to go
Thank you for your precious time, forgive me if I start to cry
That's how I got to Memphis, that's how I got to Memphis
