Can't Go Back To Memphis
Bachman & Turner

Low down dealin's in Memphis

A card game in a back room

I was lookin' at my last dollar

Hopin' lady luck would come by soon


I played out on the east side

Till I heard my reputation was in doubt

It was starting to look like a bad ride

It looked like time for gettin' out


They raised the betting limit

The cards were falling fast

I bet away my future,

I already lost my past


Now I can't go back to Memphis

I played out every game

I can't go back to Memphis

Everybody knows my name

Too many people wanna even out the score

And I can't go back to Memphis no more


I did my best to beat the system

But the system put me back in my palace

They maintained a delicate balance


Where no one got in nobody's face

I was tryin' to make a dollar

Just survivin' in the street

I fought the gangs, I fought the law

But they both had me beat


Now I can't go back to Memphis

I played out every game

I can't go back to Memphis

Everybody knows my name

Too many people wanna even out the score

And I can't go back to Memphis no more


I can't go back to Memphis

I can't go back to Memphis


No, no, I can't go back to Memphis

No, no, no, no I can't go back to Memphis

No, no, no, no

Too many people wanna even out the score

And I can't go back to Memphis no more
