stray cats - can't go back to memphis lyrics

Loading...

low down dealin’ in memphis a card game in a back room
i was lookin’ at my last dollar hopin’ lady luck would come by soon
they raised the betting limit the cards were flying fast
i bet away my future i’d already lost my past

i can’t go back to memphis
i can’t go back to memphis – i played out every game
can’t go back to memphis
can’t go back to memphis – everybody knows my name
too many people wanna even out the score
and i can’t go back to memphis no more

i hung out on the east side i heard my reputation was in doubt
it was starting to look like a bad ride
it looked like time for gettin’ out
i sent the man a message said i was gonna split
he sent a message back that said i don’t let n-body quit

i can’t go back to memphis
i can’t go back to memphis – i played out every game
can’t go back to memphis
can’t go back to memphis – everybody knows my name
too many people wanna even out the score
and i can’t go back to memphis no more

i tried my best to beat the system but the system put me back in my place
they maintained a delicate balance where no one got in n-body’s face
i tried to make a dollar just surviving in the streets
i fought the gangs, i fought the law but they both had me beat

i can’t go back to memphis
i can’t go back to memphis – i played out every game
i can’t go back to memphis
can’t go back to memphis – everybody knows my name
too many people wanna even out the score
and i can’t go back to memphis no more

i can’t go back to memphis
i can’t go back to memphis

get outta town
