Come Back to Memphis by Renata Lyrics
[Verse 1]
No one ever said it was gonna be easy
No one ever said I'd be alright
Letting go never did feel right
You left town about three months ago
Up and left, you were on your way
But my selfish heart was wanting you to stay
[Chorus]
It’s been so long since I've seen you on that Mississippi river shore
All the places we've been before
Before you were gone
Like a bird in the sky, you were flyin’ away
Tell me, how is a guy supposed to go on like this?
Baby, please come back to Memphis
[Verse 2]
Tried so many times to clear my mind
Looking back at what's been left behind
You're long gone and ain't coming back this time
[Chorus]
It's been so long since I've seen you on that Mississippi river shore
All the places we've been before
Before you were gone
Like a bird in the sky, you were flyin' away
Tell me, how is a guy supposed to go on like this?
Baby, please come back to Memphis
Yeah!
[Bridge]
Looking back at what I should have known
When everything was right, then it was wrong
I should’ve seen the way that it was goin’
Now I know that there's no way of knowin’
[Chorus]
It's been so long since I've seen you on that Mississippi river shore
All the places we've been before
Before you were gone
Like a bird in the sky, you were flyin’ away
Tell me, how is a guy supposed to go on like this?
Baby, please come back to Memphis
Baby, please come back to Memphis
Come back to Memphis
No one ever said it was gonna be easy
No one ever said I'd be alright
Letting go never did feel right
You left town about three months ago
Up and left, you were on your way
But my selfish heart was wanting you to stay
[Chorus]
It’s been so long since I've seen you on that Mississippi river shore
All the places we've been before
Before you were gone
Like a bird in the sky, you were flyin’ away
Tell me, how is a guy supposed to go on like this?
Baby, please come back to Memphis
[Verse 2]
Tried so many times to clear my mind
Looking back at what's been left behind
You're long gone and ain't coming back this time
[Chorus]
It's been so long since I've seen you on that Mississippi river shore
All the places we've been before
Before you were gone
Like a bird in the sky, you were flyin' away
Tell me, how is a guy supposed to go on like this?
Baby, please come back to Memphis
Yeah!
[Bridge]
Looking back at what I should have known

It's been so long since I've seen you on that Mississippi river shore
All the places we've been before
Before you were gone
Like a bird in the sky, you were flyin’ away
Tell me, how is a guy supposed to go on like this?
Baby, please come back to Memphis
Baby, please come back to Memphis
Come back to Memphis
