Island Avenue - Goin' Back to Memphis Lyrics

My baby called this morning, said she's come undone
My absence makes her crazy, and the counting has begun
She told me that she's lonely, she's trying not to cry,
Told me that she wants me, and told me reasons why
She told me that she's mine, she told me I'm her guy
I'm ga-ga going back to Memphis, I'm goin' on the run

Well I'm going back to Memphis, ain't stopping 'long the way
I got to see my baby, I'm needing her today
Well I'm drivin' with a purpose, ain't wastin' no more time
Got my wheels a rolling, I'm on a bee line
And once she's in my arms, then I'll be doing fine
I'm ga-ga going back to Memphis, there won't be no delay

Been out in California, been looking for the gold
Well I tried my hand in Vegas, but soon I had to fold
So hungry for her lovin', that I can't hardly see
Home is where I'm goin', yeah back to Tennessee
I miss that girl so bad, she's given me her plea
I'm ga-ga going back to Memphis, that's where I wanna roll

I'm going back to Memphis, no longer will I roam
I'm going back to Memphis, back to my river home
I see that Memphis skyline, it's coming into view
Highway miles to travel, there only are a few
I cross that river wide, man smell that bar-b-que
I'm ga-ga going back to Memphis, no longer be alone
Well I'm going back to Memphis, no longer will I roam
Hey I'm going back to Memphis, back to my river home
