I've made my last run to Memphis I won't be going back there
I've made my last trip to Memphis all this time to find that she don't care

On my first trip through Memphis at a diner known as Hungry Joe's Cafe
I stopped for one cup of coffee and she caught my eye the way she walked away
And when we matched for the jukebox funny thing she seemed to always win
But she just smiled and took my money and played the same song time and time again

I've made my last run to Memphis...

Then it seemed all roads led through Memphis so many times I've gone out of my way
Just to see that sweet thing in Memphis and set a spell at Hungry Joe's Cafe
Fom Jacksonville to New Orleans northbound on a road called Natchez Trace
While I kept them big wheels rollin' a double clutchin' disel took my place

I've made my last run to Memphis...
All this time to find that she don't care
