Brian May - All The Way From Memphis

Good evening Memphis 
 How are we doing 
 Let's do it 

Forgot my six-string razor and I hit the sky 
 Halfway to Memphis before I realised 
 Hey, I rang the information, my axe was cold 
 They said "she rides the train down to Oriole" 

Well it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail 
 And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rail 
 And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail 
 All the way from Memphis 

I got to Oriole, you know, it took a month 
 And there was my guitar, electric junk 
 Some dude said "rock'n'rollers, you're all the same 
 Man that's your instrument" I felt so ashamed 

Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 
 Through the Bradford Cities and the Orioles 
 And you look like a star but you're still on the dole 
 All the way from Memphis 

"Of course we weren't always superstars 
 There was a time when we were just ordinary commoners just like you" 

Thank you Mr Hoople 

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 
 From the Liverpool docks to the Hollywood Bowl 
 And you climb up the mountains and you fall down the holes 
 All the way from Memphis 

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 
 And your name gets hot and your heart grows cold 
 And you've got to stay a young man, you can never get old 
 All the way from Memphis 

Well it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll 
 Through the Bradford Cities and the Orioles 
 And you look like a star but you're still on parole 
 All the way from Memphis 

All the way from Memphis 
 All the way from Memphis (all the way from Memphis ) 
 All the way from Memphis 

Thank you and goodnight
