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
Then you go where your heart wants to go
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

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

Well, if you tell me that's she's not here
I'll just follow the trail of her tears
That's how I got to Memphis
Oh that's how I got to Memphis

She would get mad and she used to say
She would come back to Memphis someday
That's how I got to Memphis
Yeah, that's how I got to Memphis

I haven't a eaten a bite
Or slept for three days and nights
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis

Well, I've got find her and
Tell her that I love her so
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 to cry
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
That's how I got to Memphis
