Eh-hee, oh-hoh, well

I saw my face in the paper today

it said hello to the face that i saw at home

[then] I read a tale of a girl with my name

it was not the one that I know, no

you shook my hand and you said you understand

and you said that you know where I'm coming from

but the only place that I've ever been

is far, far from known

what you say about me

stabs me in the heart

what you read about me is a shot in the dark (yeah)

I've never been to Memphis

I've never seen my good-luck star

I've never seen Las Vegas lights

laughing at the dark

I've never dragged the train of my dress

down Elvis Presley Boulevard

I've never been to Memphis

cross my heart, hm

I want to see my name in neon lights

cause the words that you write they don't last, my friends

they only shine a day at a time

and leave stains on my hands, well

so what's the use in rolling the dice w

hen you already know how it's gonna fall

you think that if you play your cards right

you might deal with us all

what're gonna do

when a seven falls

will the rolling thunder scatter all of your cards

I've never been to Memphis, no

I've never seen my good-luck star

I've never seen Las Vegas lights

laughing at the dark

I've never dragged the train of my dress

down Elvis Presley Boulevard

I've never been to Memphis

cross my heart, cross my heart

[guitar solo]

ooh yes

believe me (hm)

I've never been to Memphis, no no

I've never seen my good-luck star, baby

I wanna see Las Vegas lights, yeah

laughing at the dark

I've never dragged the train of my dress

down Elvis Presley Boulevard

I've never been to Memphis

cross my heart, cross my heart

I've never been to Memphis, no no no

I've never seen my good-luck star, yeah

I've never seen Las Vegas lights, yeah

laughing at the dark

I've never dragged the train of my dress

down Elvis Presley Boulevard (yeah)

I've never been to Memphis

cross my heart, yeah

I've never been to Memphis, no no

I've never seen my good-luck star (no no)

I've never seen Las Vegas lights, yeah

laughing at the dark

I've never dragged a train of my dress

through the Nevada desert sand

I've never been to Memphis

raise my hand, raise my hand, baby, yeah

[adlibbing until end:]

tell it how it is, c'mon on

whoo!

cross my heart

[laughter]

whow! that's the one - that was the one
