well i’m bound
bound for memphis
where they love to play the delta blues
yeah, i’m bound
bound where the music feels so loose

get off the bus
head straight to beale
hear the man, mr. preston shannon play
and listen to the guitar
of little jimmy king

well i used to listen
to sun records, stax, and all those funky things
heard carl perkins, jerry lee lewis
and the king elvis presley sing

well i’m bound
bound for memphis
where the music makes you feel so great
yeah, i’m bound
bound for a glorious fate

well i used to listen
to sun records, stax, and all those funky things
johnny cash, and howlin’ wolf
and the great mr. b.b. king

well i’m bound
bound for memphis
where the music makes you feel so fine
yeah, i’m bound
