Forgot my six-string razor, hit the skyHalf way to memphis fore I realizedWell I rang the information, my axe was coldThey said she rides the train to oreolesNow its a mighty long way down the dusty trailAnd the sun burns hot on the cold steel railsN I look like a bum n I crawl like a snailAll the way from memphisWell I got to oreoles ya know, it took a monthAnd there was my guitar, electric junk.Some spade said rock n' rollers, you're all the same.Man that's your instrument. I felt so ashamed.Now its a mighty long way down rock n' rollThrough the Bradford cities and the oreolesN you look like a star but you're still on the doleAll the way from memphisYeah its a mighty long way down rock n' rollFrom the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood bowlN you climb up the mountains n you fall down the holesAll the way from memphisYeah its a mighty long way down rock n'rollSongtexteAs your name gets hot so your heart grows coldN you gotta stay young man, you can never be oldAll the way from memphisYeah its a mighty long way down rock n' rollThrough the Bradford cities and the oreolesN you look like a star but you're really out on parole!All the way from memphis Aus Songtexte Mania
