This guy came to the door last night Said, don't you remember me? I cleaned your gutters last Fall Well, now the deal is, See, that's my wife in the car there And her daddy just died And my tank's on empty and I ain't got a dime I'm just trying to get to Memphis Just trying to get to Memphis So she can say goodbye Sure enough, there's a red car with the motor running Out on the street There's a silhouette of a woman Sitting there, still in the passenger seat I'm looking in his eyes, he's talking fast Looking for something behind them As he says: So you think You could help me out? I'm just trying to get to Memphis Just trying to get to Memphis So she can say goodbye The question I asked myself From behind a locked security door: What would Jesus do? If like me He'd never seen this guy before Give alms to the poor But the neighborhood watch captain said You give something to one, You'll have them all at your door So I said: I tell you the deal is, man I got no cash on hand But good luck to you Even if it's not true that you're Just trying to get to Memphis Just trying to get to Memphis So she can say goodbye |
