Testo All the Way From Memphis - Mott the Hoople
Testo della canzone All the Way From Memphis (Mott the Hoople), tratta dall'album Mott
Forgot my six-string razor, hit the sky
Halfway to Memphis 'fore I realized
Well, I rang the information, my axe was cold
They said she rides the train to Oriole
Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail
All the way from Memphis
Well, I got to Oriole y'know, it took a month
And there was my guitar, electric junk
Some spade said, "Rock and rollers, you're all the same
Man, that's your instrument," I felt so ashamed
Now it's a mighty long way down rock 'n' roll
Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles
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
And 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 and 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 and roll
Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles
And you look like a star but you're really out on parole
All the way from Memphis
