You Don't Have to Go to Memphis
Love's Blues Journey Beyond Memphis
Lyrics
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
You can experience the Blues without going to Memphis.
You just fall in love with the kind of women I do
Falling in love with certain types of women can bring about the Blues.
Well, I've had me a dozen but I never had me one that
The singer has had many relationships, but all of them have ended.
Did not fall through
None of the relationships have been successful or enduring.
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
Reiteration that one doesn't need to go to Memphis for the Blues.
There she goes, here I stand
The singer watches as a love relationship slips away.
Watching good love slip away
The feeling of losing good love is painful.
Once again, I'm all alone
The singer finds themselves alone once more.
Love has come and gone
Love has come and gone, leaving the singer alone again.
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
Reiteration that Memphis is not necessary to experience the Blues.
You just fall in love with the kind of women I do
Falling in love with a specific type of women leads to the Blues.
Well I've had me a dozen but I never had me one that
The singer has had numerous relationships without success.
Did not fall through
None of the relationships with the described women have lasted.
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
Emphasizing that one doesn't have to be in Memphis for the Blues.
She moved out, the blues moved in
The singer's lover has moved out, and the Blues have taken their place.
Where I'm at is lost again
The singer feels lost in the current situation.
Well, I've been east and I've been west
The singer has traveled both east and west, experiencing blues.
And I can attest
The singer can affirm the impact of the Blues in different locations.
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
Reiteration that Memphis is not the exclusive source of the Blues.
You just fall in love with the kind of women I do
Falling in love with a specific type of women leads to the Blues.
Well, I've had me a dozen but I never had me one that
The singer has had numerous unsuccessful relationships.
Did not fall through
None of the relationships with the described women have lasted.
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
Reiteration that Memphis is not necessary to experience the Blues.
You don't have to go to Memphis to get the Blues
Stressing again that one doesn't need to go to Memphis for the Blues.
