I come from California
Where you say no one grows old
Y'all drive to fast.
But you say it so slow.
With that southern style, baby
It drives me crazy.
And I have to laugh.

[Chorus:]
I have never been to Memphis
But if you're there
I will pack my bags, and go.

Oh even though it never rains here,
And the suns always shining.
I have never met a girl like you
And I'm tired of trying.
I have never been to Memphis.

You're all crazy about Jesus
back where you're from.
You get baptized in rivers
Where the deep water runs.
