Never Came Back to Memphis Songtext
von Jimmy LaFave

Signed sealed delivered on the borderline
Waves of whimsy crashing through my mind
You were so sweet baby you were so kind
And I thought we′d left the past behind
Then you just slipped away
Walking slowly in the gentle rain
Laughing out loud at the midnight train
Sooner or later we all feel the same
Cause a lot of trouble and we shift the blame
But you just slipped away
And you never came back to Memphis
You never came back at all And you never came back to Memphis
Baby that's a long hard fall
Time moves slowly in a river town
Listen real close you′ll hear the sound
A lot of lonely hearts are getting twisted around
You gotta lay low keep your ear to the ground
But you you? slipped away
And you never came back to Memphis
You never came back at all
You never came back down to Memphis
Baby that's a long hard fall
