Back in Memphis she was a pearl | |
She was everyone's favorite girl | |
Now her eyes have a vacant stare | |
What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there | |
She married a man when she left home | |
She wanted someone she could call her own | |
He was good to her when he wasn't drunk | |
He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked | |
Back in Memphis where she grew up | |
The life she knew was just not enough | |
Back in Memphis when she was a girl | |
She thought one day she'd own the world | |
She'd look at the TV and magazines | |
And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen | |
She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet | |
But those things don't mean much out here on the street | |
Back in Memphis she had fun | |
Goin' around, tellin' everyone | |
She was gonna buy dresses that zip up the side | |
And wear red lipstick, have a nice car to drive | |
She bounces her baby on her knee | |
Sayin' maybe today we'll get lucky, you'll see | |
I promise it won't always be like this | |
Come here, sugar, give Mamma a kiss | |
Back in Memphis another time | |
Didn't look like things would turn out fine | |
Back in Memphis when she was a girl | |
She thought one day she'd own the world | |
Back in Memphis she was a pearl |
