B.T.O. (Bachman-Turner Overdrive) - Can't Go Back To Memphis Lyrics
Low down dealin's in Memphis
A card game in a back room
I was lookin' at my last dollar
Hopin' lady luck would come by soon
Till I heard my reputation was in doubt
It was starting to look like a bad ride
It looked like time for gettin' out
They raised the betting limit
The cards were falling fast
I bet away my future,
I already lost my past
Now I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis
Everybody knows my name
Too many people wanna even out the score
And I can't go back to Memphis no more
I did my best to beat the system
But the system put me back in my palace
They maintained a delicate balance
Where no one got in nobody's face
I was tryin' to make a dollar
Just survivin' in the street
I fought the gangs, I fought the law
But they both had me beat
Now I can't go back to Memphis
I played out every game
I can't go back to Memphis
Everybody knows my name
Too many people wanna even out the score
And I can't go back to Memphis no more
I can't go back to Memphis
I can't go back to Memphis
No, no, I can't go back to Memphis
No, no, no, no I can't go back to Memphis
No, no, no, no
Too many people wanna even out the score
And I can't go back to Memphis no more

lots of memories- just listened to a fairly recent Bachman interview about the history of guess who and bto. I saw Guess Who doing Shakin All Over at Lake Hills roller rink in Western Wa. State back in the 60s before they made it big. (days of Merilee Rush who was often there too). and Let It Ride is in my top 100 rock song list. great to hear them now.
wow no comments on the best band ever. great song.
