The day since I met her
I can't believe it's true
She came here from Memphis
Across the ocean sailing
And I saw her
And I pleaded
Why do you come so far?
And she said
Trying to get to you
How I tried to get to you
Trying to get to you
I'm sending a letter
I'll send it right to you
I'll send it to Memphis
I know that someday
Everything I needed
And I wanted
Used to be that my head was haunted
And all these sirens, they make me mad
And all this violence, it brings me down
I feel strong
I feel lucky
Trying to get to you
Said I'm going to get to you
Trying to get to you
