	A	A	D	A	A
	Back in	Memphis	she was a	pearl

	A	A	D	A	A
	She was	everyone's	favorite	girl

	D	D	D	A	A	A	A
	Now her	eyes have a	vacant	stare

	A	A	D	A	A	A	A
What	she wouldn't	give to be	livin' back	there

She married a man when she left home

She wanted someone she could call her own

He was good to her when he wasn't drunk

He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked

Back in Memphis where she grew up

The life she knew was just not enough

Back in Memphis when she was a girl

She thought one day she'd own the world

She'd look at the TV and magazines

And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen

She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet

But those things don't mean much out here on the street

Back in Memphis she had fun

Goin' around, tellin' everyone

She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side

And wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive

She bounces her baby on her knee

Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky, you'll see

I promise it won't always be like this

Come here, sugar, give Mama a kiss

Back in Memphis another time

Didn't look like things would turn out fine

Back in Memphis when she was a girl

She thought one day she'd own the world

Back in Memphis she was a pearl
