Well, well, well, well. Oh well, mmm.
I'm sitting here in Memphis,
Whiskey bottle in my hand, yeah. I got to find a woman,
I'm only on a one-night stand,
I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes,
I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land.

Tried to call a number,
A certain little lady in town, yeah,
But when I got connected she told me
She was going to settle down, Oh baby, yeah.

I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes,
I'm leaving in the morning,
I'm heading for the promised land,
Oh baby; look out over there.

Ever since I've been playing guitar in a band,
Every place I been to seem to be the same,
Every time I tried to play my winning hand,
I get a little closer but it's still the same old game.

Ma ma mama, I get a little closer to you baby,
Seem like you're all the same,
I get a little closer to you,
still the same old game, Come on baby,
I want to take you with me.

I've got to leave the city, I'm headed for the California sun,
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, They say the girls are pretty,
And pretty soon I'm going to get me one, Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I've got to kick away these blues,
Got to get on my rock and roll shoes,
I'm leaving in the morning, I'm heading for the promised land,
Lord knows I am.
