Well
it's coming on close to midnight
And it's a long, long time done
And I'm a-working my way out of Santa Fe
Struggling to get back home
Well I wish I had a friend to help me
Turn my head around
But I got myself in,
I gotta get myself out Before I get myself down
Can't you hear me saying,
brother Can you help me,
sister,
lend a helping hand
If you got kindness in your heart,
won't you show it now
Cause I'm looking for a place to stand You know I'm lost,
but I'm trying just as hard as I can
Well the last time,
the good times or my time Was a whole lot better then
Well I tried to disagree with morality
And it brought me the shape I'm in
Well if I could find my way to Memphis I'd catch that southern bound
When I get on board I'd be a-headin' toward The happiness of my town
Can't you hear me saying,
brother Can you help me,
sister,
lend a helping hand
If you got kindness in your heart,
won't you show it now
Cause I'm looking for a place to stand You know I'm lost,
but I'm trying just as hard as I can
Well if I could get on board that train I'd be a
-headin' for a home and getting rid of all of my pain
Memphis,
Tennessee means the world to me
