I'm goin' back to Wentzville

Have myself a really good time

Back to Wentzville

Leave these Memphis blues behind

Do you remember Marie?

Or sweet Betty Jean?

They used to call me long distance from New Orleans

I'd ride'em around in my Cadillac car

They were sweet rock 'n' rollers, I was their star

Cruisin Highway Z in my coupe de ville

Until the wee wee hours outside of Wentzville

Back to Wentzville, I'll take any airline

Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind

Every Saturday night I had a little rendez-vous

Beautiful Delilah I'm a talkin' bout you

You pulled the strings to my driftin' heart

Together we always will be from the start

She's only 16 but oh what a thrill

I can hardly wait to get back to Wentzville

Back to Wentzville, long distance get me there on time

Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind

Alright

Well the good times in St. Louie

I can still recall

Yeah, the show-me state

Sure is great

But one of those girls is Baby Doll

Woo, back to Wentzville, I'll take any airline

Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind

I took the downbound train for ole Mexico

I ran into Lawanda at a rock n roll show

We danced right around til our feet got sore

Split for Californey in my Mustang Ford

She's in the promised land where she waits for me still

Cause the law wouldn't let me bring her back to Wentzville

Back to Wentzville long distance get me there on time

Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind

Back to Wentzville long distance get me there on time

Back to Wentzville, leave these Memphis blues behind
