Halfway To Memphis Lyrics


Halfway to Memphis
Driving in the rain
Self confidence slipping
Still running awayFrom the face in the mirror
The lines on your face
From New York City
To the San Francisco BayFrom the ghost in the closet
To the monkey on your back
From the one that really loves you
Baby, you know about that
Does that fire in your belly still burn?Be yourself
You're like no one else
There's nobody like you
You can't find it on a shelfJust let the world know
That you're ready for show
Count 3 and let go
Before you turn around and go home
Turn around, yeahDown by the riverside

There's an old stone wall
There time stands still
But the water still fallsAnd there nothing much changes
But the seasons still change
We just wishing and hoping
To break even againYou take these things with you
Take 'em to the heart
But take nothing for granted
Well, that's a good place to start
Until you feel like a circle againAnd just be yourself
You're like no one else
There's nobody like you
You can't find it on a shelfAnd just let the world know
You're ready for show
Count 3 and let go
Before you turn around and go homeThere ain't no sanctuary
Young Jeff Buckley blood
You're halfway to Memphis
In the Mississippi mudBe yourself
You're like no one else
There's nobody like you
You can't find it on a shelfJust let the world know
You're ready for show
Count 3 and let go
Before you turn around and go homeBe yourself, come on, baby
Just turn yourself around and go home
Be yourself, yeah, it's alright, baby
You can't find it on a shelfBe yourself
You're like no one else
There's nobody like you, now come on home
Be yourself, come on home

Sammy Hagar, From Colton, California, was popular in the early- mid 1980's for fast paced, guitar-driven, hard rock with a masculine, lets-go-party attitude, joined the band Van Halen as lead vocalist after David Lee Roth's departure from the group. (Before joining Van Halen he sang lead vocals in Ronnie Montrose's classic rock band Montrose, and had some single output, notably his release, "I Can't Drive 55".) As much as it was public surprise when Hagar joined the band, so it was when he left. Sammy Hagar now peddles his own line of high-quality "Cabo Wabo" tequila. In the Spring of 2007, Hagar sold his stake in Cabo Wabo tequila to an Italian beverage company for a reported $80 million.

Hagar, now a sort of modern-day Jimmy Buffett, has earned his place in rock n roll history as one of hard rock's premier front men who not only has an ample, strong, belting vocal range with soulful melody and tone, but his duality as a formidable lead guitarist and guitar-riff-monger puts him in a league shared with few others in terms of versatility and overall right to rock.

He now tours with Mike Anthony, former bassist for Van Halen.

He resides with his family in Mill Valley, CA.

Hagar is currently in a band called "Chickenfoot" with Michael Anthony, Red Hot Chili Peppers' drummer Chad Smith and guitarist Joe Satriani. Their self titled debut album was released to critical acclaim

Sammy Hagar is also known as the Red Rocker, due to the fact he almost always wears red shirts or plays a red guitar, or more likely that he has red hair?

Seems that Chickenfoot is on a hiatus as Joe Satriani has gone back to solo and CF has yet to follow up with a new LP.
