All The Way From Memphis Mott the Hoople

[Verse 1]
Forgot my six-string razor
Hit the sky
Half way to Memphis 'fore I realised
Well I rang the information
My axe was cold
They said she rides the train to Oriole

[Chorus]
Now it's a mighty long way down the dusty trail
And the sun burns hot on the cold steel rails
And I look like a bum and I crawl like a snail
(All the way from Memphis)

[Verse 2]
Well I got to Oriole y'know
It took a month
And there was my guitar, electric junk
Some spade said "Rock'n'rollers
You're all the same
Man, that's your instrument."
I felt so ashamed

[Chorus]
Now it's a mighty long way down rock'n'roll
Through the Bradford cities and the Orioles
And you look like a star but you're still on the dole
(All the way from Memphis)
