The Band - Back to memphis

I've been ^Astruggling up here just trying to make a living Every^Abody wants to take and nobody likes giving I wish ^DI was back in Memphis back home home with my mama The only ^Aclothes I got left that ain't rags is my pajamas Yeah, no ^Ebrotherly love and no help and no danger Just a ^Agreat big town full of cold-hearted strangers

I went ^Ahungry in New York, Chicago was no better But to^Aday, my dear mother wrote and told me in her letter Said, ^Dcome home back to Memphis and live here with your mama You can ^Awalk down Beale Street, honey, wearing your pajamas You know ^Efolks down here, they let do just like you wanna And I ^Aborn you and raised you right here on the corner

I'm gonna ^Aget up in the morning goin' to the station I've got ^Ajust enough money to reach my destination I'm go^Ding back to Memphis, back home to my mama I'm gonna ^Aride that bus barefoot in my pajamas Yeah, ^Egoin' back to Memphis, no moaning and groaning I know ^Aeverything will be all right in the morning
