(written by Gary Harrison, Matraca Berg)
I´ve been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I´m really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a ´69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
No turning back, I´ve come too far
I´m headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain´t Graceland that´s a fact
And I ain´t driving a pink Cadillac
I´ve been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin´ kinda restless
And I ain´t gotta single thing to lose
I´ve had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I´ll be there
I´ve been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I´m really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a ´69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign
