All The Way From Memphis - Brian May
Good evening Memphis
How are we doing
Let's do it
Forgot my six-string razor
And I hit the sky
Halfway to Memphis before I realised
Hey I rang the information
My axe was cold
They said she rides
The train down to Oreole
Well it's a mighty long
Way down the dusty trail
And the sun burns hot
On the cold steel rail
And I look like a bum
And I crawl like a snail
All the way from Memphis
I got to Oreole you know
It took a month
And there was my guitar electric junk
Some dude said rock'n'rollers
You're all the same
Man that's your instrument
I felt so ashamed
Now it's a mighty long
Way down rock'n'roll
Through the Bradford Cities
And the Oreoles
And you look like a star
But you're still on the dole
All the way from Memphis
Of course we weren't always superstars
There was a time when we were just
Ordinary commoners just like you
Thank you Mr Hoople
Well it's a mighty long way
Down rock'n'roll
From the Liverpool Docks
To the Hollywood Bowl
And you climb up the mountains
And you fall down the holes
All the way from Memphis
Well it's a mighty long way
Down rock'n'roll
And your name gets hot
And your heart grows cold
And you've got to stay a young man
You can never get old
All the way from Memphis
Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
From the Bradford Cities and the Oreole
And you look like a star
But you're still on parole
All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis
All the way from memphis
All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis
All the way from Memphis
Thank you and goodnight
