I come from California
Where you say no one grows old
Yall drive to fast.
But you say it so slow.
With that southern style baby
It drives me crazy.
And I have to laugh.

[Chorus:]
I have never been to Memphis
But if youre there
I will pack my bags and go.

Oh even though it never rains here
And the suns always shining.
I have never met a girl like you
And Im tired of trying.
I have never been to Memphis.

Youre all crazy about Jesus
back where youre from.
You get baptized in rivers
Where the deep water runs.
& Thats alright by me
I love that you believe in
Something you cant touch
Something you cant see.

I have never been to Memphis
But if youre there
I will pack my bags and go.

Oh even though Im not afraid to fly
But I am afraid to fall.
Ive been painting it by numbers
Youve been splashing it on the wall
And I can see the colors running
Lets me know just where to go after all yeah after all
Ive gotta get there baby
Oh yeah you know Ive gotta get myself there

I have never been to Memphis
but if youre there.

Im on my way [x5]

Gotta get myself to maybe

I have never been to Memphis
But if youre there [x2]

Youre all crazy bout Jesus
Back where youre from
Get baptized in rivers
Where the deep water runs
