Start Jamming...
[Bb] [F]
Lowdown deal in Memphis, the car game in the back room.
I was looking on in my last hour, hoping later love would come by soon.
[Fm] They raped the men [Bb] in Lincoln, [Fm] the cars were flying fast.
[Bb] I bet away my future, [Ab] I already lost my past.
[F] I can't go back to Memphis, Memphis.
[Bb] Can't go back to Memphis, [Bb]
[C] Memphis.
[F]
[C] Too many people, well [Bb] even at the school.
[Ab] And I can't [Bb] go back to Memphis, no more.
[Fm]
I hung out on the east side.
I heard my reputation was in the mail.
It was starting to look like a fail.
Look like time for a kill now.
[Bb] I sent the man a message, [Fm] now it's gonna [Bb] split.
He sent a message that said I don't want no [F] more.
I can't go back,
[Fm] can't go back to Memphis.
[Bb] Can't go back to Memphis, [Bb] [C] I can't go back to Memphis.
Too many people, [Bb] well even at the school.
[Ab] And I can't go [Bb] back to Memphis, [Ab] no more.
