| 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 |
