Take Me On Down To Memphis
(J.J. Vicars)
Words and music by J.J. Vicars (c)2005 Gypsytattunes BMI
Written in a dump of a motel just south of Indianapolis. If I can't make it all the way back to Texas then take on down to Memphis but get me the hell outta here! Played on my Firebird that most of my tunes were written on. The big 'hit' off of SCI-FI DINER.
I'm tired of Indiana
But I just can't go back to Texas
I'm down on my luck
And I've used up all of my passes
So won't you take me on down
Take me on down to Memphis
Won't you take me on down, girl
Take me on down to Memphis
Times got hard
And my money all ran dry
So I turned to my friends
And I waved goodbye
Yeah, I'm goin' on down
Goin' on down to Memphis
Yeah, I'm goin' on down
Goin' on down to Memphis
