When you've done all you need to do
And you've had more trouble than you can use
And you've painted every road that you can findWhen you've seen the sun set coast to coast
And the rise and the fall and the highs and the lows
And you're at the point where you know you're wasting timeBaby, think about this when you need a little tendernessCome on back to Memphis
Come on back to MemphisWhen you arrived in California
Don't say that I didn't warn you
How you might be treated while you're thereWhen you walk the streets of New York
And it hurt your feet and you knocked on doors
And you realized that sometimes no one caresThere's no reason to regret if you feel that emptinessJust come on back to Memphis
Come on back to MemphisYour memory runs deep as these waters
Under a bridge where we drink
And all of the times that we borrow
They're still here, you and meWhen you've held on all you can hold
And you can't tell what you've been told
And every step you take seems out of placeIf you need somewhere to rest
You're just looking for a little more of lessCome on back to Memphis
Come on back to Memphis
