Tekstovi: Stray Cats. Can't Go Back To Memphis.

Low down dealin' in Memphis, a card game in a back room
I was lookin' at my last dollar, hopin' lady luck would come by soon
They raised the betting limit, the cards were flying fast
I bet away my future, I'd already lost my past

I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis
(I played out every game)
Can't go back to Memphis
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 hung out on the east side, I heard my reputation was in doubt
It was startin' to look like a bad ride
It looked like time for gettin' out
I sent the man a message, said, I was gonna split
He sent a message back that said, I don't let nobody quit

I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis
(I played out every game)
Can't go back to Memphis
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 tried my best to beat the system but the system put me back in my place
They maintained a delicate balance where no one got in nobody's face
I tried to make a dollar just survivin' in the streets
I fought the gangs, I fought the law but they both had me beat

I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis
(I played out every game)
I can't go back to Memphis
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

Get outta town
