I come from California

Where you say no one grows old

Y'all drive to fast

But you say it so slow

With that southern style, baby

It drives me crazy

And I have to laugh

Chorus

I have never been to Memphis

But if you're there

I will pack my bags, and go

Oh even though it never rains here

And the suns always shining

I have never met a girl like you

And I'm tired of trying

I have never been to Memphis

You're all crazy about Jesus

back where you're from

You get baptized in rivers

Where the deep water runs

& That's alright by me,

I love that you believe in

Something you can't touch

Something you can't see

I have never been to Memphis

But if you're there

I will pack my bags, and go

Oh even though, I'm not afraid to fly

But I am afraid to fall

I've been painting it by numbers

You've been splashing it on the wall

And I can see the colors running

Lets me know just where to go after all yeah after all

I've gotta get there baby

Oh yeah, you know I've gotta get myself there

I have never been to Memphis

but if you're there

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

I'm on my way

Gotta get myself to maybe

I have never been to Memphis

But if you're there

But if you're there

You're all crazy bout Jesus

Back where you're from

Get baptized in rivers

Where the deep water runs
