Mott the Hoople - All The Way From Memphis

Forgot my six-string razor and hit the sky Half way to Memphis before I realized Well I phoned the information / my axe was cold They said she rides the train to Oreoles Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail And the sun beats down on the cold steel rails And I look like a bum but I crawl like a snail All the way from Memphis Well I got to Oreole y'know / it took a month And there was my guitar, electric junk. Some dude said, "you rock'n'rollers, you're all the same, The way you play that thing." I felt so ashamed. Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford cities to the Oreoles And you look like a star but you're still on the dole All the way from Memphis Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl You climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes All the way from Memphis Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll As your name gets hot so your heart grows cold And you gotta stay young man, you can never be old All the way from Memphis Yeah it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll Through the Bradford cities and the Oreoles 'N you look like a star but you're really out on parole! All the way from Memphis
