All The Way From Memphis Lyrics - Brian May

Good evening Memphis 

How are we doing 

Let's do it 

Forgot my six-string razor and I hit the sky 

Halfway to Memphis before I realised 

Hey, I rang the information, my axe was cold 

They said "she rides the train down to Oreole" 

Well it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail 

And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rail 

And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail 

All the way from Memphis 

I got to Oreole, you know, it took a month 

And there was my guitar, electric junk 

Some dude said "rock'n'rollers, you're all the same 

Man that's your instrument" I felt so ashamed

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 

Through the Bradford Cities and the Oreoles 

And you look like a star but you're still on the dole 

All the way from Memphis 

"Of course we weren't always superstars 

There was a time when we were just ordinary commoners just like you" 

Thank you Mr Hoople 

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 

From the Liverpool Docks to the Hollywood Bowl 

And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes 

All the way from Memphis 

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 

And your name gets hot and your heart grows cold 

And you've got to stay a young man, you can never get old 

All the way from Memphis 

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 

From the Bradford Cities and the Oreole 

And you look like a star but you're still on parole
