[Verse 1]
Back in Memphis she was a pearl
She was everyone's favorite girl
Now her eyes have a vacant stare
What she wouldn't give to be livin' back there
[Verse 2]
She married a man when she left home
She wanted someone she could call her own
He was good to her when he wasn't drunk
He'd hold her and tell her how pretty she looked
[Verse 3]
Back in Memphis whеre she grew up
Thе life she knew was just not enough
Back in Memphis when she was a girl
She thought one day she'd own the world
[Verse 4]
She'd look at the TV and the magazines
And she'd believe all the pictures she'd seen
She'd be wearin' silk and perfume so sweet
But those things don't mean much out here on the street
