I'm really breaking away this time
 Full tank of gas and a 69 Tempest
 Taking me to that Nashville sign
 No turnin' back
 I've come too far
 I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
 This ain't Graceland that's a fact
 And I ain't driving no pink Cadillac
 I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
 Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
 These cowboy boots are getting kind of restless
 They ain't got a single thing to lose

 I've had this dream from a tender age
 Calling my name from the Opry stage
 I can hear it sing loud and clear
 Two hundred miles and I'll be there

 I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
 Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
 These cowboy boots are getting kind of restless
 They ain't got a single thing to lose
