lyrics

My mother told me to take my chances
I never told her I had even left but I am gone
Driving aimless, finding nowhere
I don't think I'll get very far on my own
But I need to take a break
And get a clean escape
Hey I need to find my place in Memphis
Well Elvis told me that I was welcome
But I was only there to help myself, I am home
With lonely nights and beautiful skies
The only time I felt alright is when you called on the phone
Ya I need to go back home 'cause I am feeling so alone
Hey I need to leave my place in Memphis
