Intro
Verse 1
Well I Woke Up In A Jail Cell
My Head Was Spinning In A Cloud
Some Guy Was Standing Over Me
We Was Alone, But He's Talking Loud
So I Say, Hey, What Are You In On
Is It Some Kind Of Cultish Thing
He Said, No, This One Couldn't Walk On Water
But, Boy, You Should Have Heard Him Sing
Chorus
Take Me Down, I Want To Go To Memphis
If I Do I Surely Will Be Saved
Direct Me To The Road That Leads To Memphis
Baptize Me Over Elvis Presley's Grave
Verse 2
Well The Sheriff, He Released Me
He Said, Boy, Where You Gonna Go
I Said I'm Headed Down For Memphis
He Said, How, And I Said, I Don't Know
So I Told Him About My Reason
He Just Shrugged And Pointed Towards The Road
And He Said, You Know, I Think You're Crazy, Boy
But It's A Free Country, I Suppose
Chorus
Take Me Down, I Want To Go To Memphis
If I Do I Surely Will Be Saved
Direct Me To The Road That Leads To Memphis
Baptize Me Over Elvis Presley's Grave
Verse 3
So I Arrived At My Destination
Road Weary And A Wreck
There Was A Woman In The Ticket Booth
Standing Just Like Peter At The Gates
So I Says, Ma'am, You Know I Come A Long, Long Way
Won't You Please Let Me Inside
And She Said, I Don't Care If You're The Second Coming
Buy A Ticket, And Get In Line
Chorus
Take Me Down, I Want To Go To Memphis
If I Do I Surely Will Be Saved
Direct Me To The Road That Leads To Memphis
Baptize Me Over Elvis Presley's Grave, Oh
Baptize Me Over Elvis Presley's Grave
