If you love somebody enough
You follow them wherever they go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

If you love somebody enough
Then you go where your heart needs to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

Well I know if you'd seen her
You'd tell me 'cause you are my friend
I got to find her
Find out the trouble she's in

And if you tell me she isn't here
I'll follow by the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

She use to get mad but she'd say
She'd go back to Memphis someday
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

Well I got to find her
Tell her that I love her so
Yeah and I'll never rest
Till I find out why she had to go

Well thank you for your precious time
Forgive me if I start cryin'
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

Well that's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
Well that's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
