Never Going Back To Memphis Lyrics - Never Going Back - Shemekia Copeland

Walked across the room 

In a neon light 

Dark pair of shades 

Blocking out the night 

Smoke ring blowing 

White Owl Panatella 

There wasn't a thing 

That man couldn't sell you 

He kept a 45 in a Crown Royal bag 

Wiped the fingerprints off 

Handed me the rag

I'm never going back to Memphis 

I'm never going back to Memphis 

Little while later 

Sirens started screaming 

Felt like a nightmare 

But you know I wasn't dreaming 

Cops walked in 

Dog pulling on a chain 

Looking for a woman 

Ran in from the rain 

They sat out front eating fried chicken 

While I shivered in a she'd 

Out behind the kitchen 

I'm never going back to Memphis 

I'm never going back to Memphis 

Don't ask when 

'Cause I'm never going back to Memphis again 

Photos 

The river is rising 

Sky's getting darker 

My mind keeps playing 

Some old Junior Parker 

Three days waiting 

All alone by the tracks 

Lying to myself 

That man's coming back 

Said he'd come around 

Unless he was dead 

Guess he took another woman 

Or a bullet in the head 

I'm never going back to Memphis 

I'm never going back to Memphis 

Don't ask when 

'Cause I'm never going back to Memphis again 

Never going back 

To Memphis again 

Too much trouble 

You can get in 

Never going back 

To Memphis again 

Never going back 

To Memphis again
