Forgot my six-string razor 
And hit the sky 
Half way to Memphis 
'Fore I realized 

I rang the information 
My axe was cold 
They said she rides a train 
Down to Oriole 

Well it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail 
And the sun bums hot on the cold steel rail 
An' I look like a bum an' I crawl like a snail 
All the way from Memphis 

I got to Oriole, you know 
It took a month 
An' there was my guitar 
Electric Junk 

Some dude says 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 Orioles 
And you look like a star but you're still on the Dole 
All the way from Memphis 

Well it's a mighty long way down Rock 'n' Roll 
From the Liverpool Docks to the Hollywood Bowl 
An' you climb up the mountains an' you fall down the holes 
All the way from Memphis 

Well it's a mighty long way down Rock 'n' Roll 
An' your name gets hot and your heart grows cold 
An' you gotta stay a young man, you can never get old 
All the way from Memphis 

It's a mighty long way down Rock 'n' Roll 
From the Bradford Cities an' the Orioles 
An' 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
