Lyrics

***this is an AABA song form (like "Whenever you come around"- by Vince Gill, for example) Therefore there is no chorus--there is a B section!***

Would you come ALL THE WAY FROM MEMPHIS
Just to see me again?
Drive 500 miles to my door?
Would you leave all your friends in Tennessee
Just to be with me again?
I don't know, but I hope so

Would you wake up bright and early,
Too excited to sleep?
Climb Route 78 with the sunrise in your face?
Would you take all the shortcuts
I circled on your map?
I don't know, but I hope so.

Can't believe it only took you four sweet days
To get me jumping in puddles in the rain.
Now every night I sleep in the shirt you left behind
And every day, I swear the denim fades.

Would your heart start beating faster
As you're driving down my street
The way you said it did the day we met?
Would you wish you came sooner
When I'm finally in your arms?
I don't know, but I hope so.

Would you come ALL THE WAY FROM MEMPHIS?
I don't know, but I hope so.
