The riff for this song was living in one of my Dad's guitars, and was the first thing I played on it when I picked it up. It's become a live favourite.
lyrics
Ninety miles to Memphis.
Lord, I got to get back home. (x2)
Got to find my Baby,
I'm so tired of being alone.
Ninety miles to Memphis.
Maybe I could take a train. (x2)
Oh my heart is aching
Just to see her face again.
I ain't got no money
Maybe I could hitch a ride (x2)
Won't someone help me
Get me by my Baby's side.
If I don't see my Baby
Then I'll just break down and cry. (x2)
Cause without my Baby
I might as well lay down and die.
Ninety miles to Memphis.
Lord I'm going back to stay. (x2)
Once I find my baby
I ain't never goin' away.
