Trisha Yearwood - Wrong Side Of Memphis Lyrics






I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

No turning back, I've come too far
I'm headed down 40 with my old guitar
This ain't Graceland that's a fact
And I ain't driving a pink Cadillac

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
And I ain't gotta single thing to lose

I've had this dream from a tender age
Calling my name from the Opry stage
I can hear it sing loud and clear
200 miles and I'll be there

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I'm really breaking away this time
A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
Gonna bronze these blue suede shoes
These cowboy boots are gettin' kinda restless
And I ain't gotta single thing to lose

I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis

I got the cowboy boots and the run storm suit
I've been living on the wrong side of Memphis

A full tank of gas and a '69 Tempest
Taking me to that Nashville sign

  17. M.... H....

    Hey trishy

  18. N.... C....

    I roll through Memphis every week in a coal black long nose peterbuilt haulin cattle I always wind up on the wrong side of Memphis

    N.... C....

    I drove refer for 42 years. 5 million miles and hauled cattle in cardboard coffins out of IBP/Tyson from Lexington, NB, Holcomb, KS, Packerland/Tyson Tolleson. AZ, Amarillo. TX, Caviness Beef/Herford. TX, National Beef Liberal and Dodge City. KS. Brawley, CA, Cargill Dodge City, KS Plainview, TX, Monfort Nampa. ID, Monfort/JBS Cactus, TX, JBS Greeley. CO, Grand Island, NE, Miller/JBS Hyrum, UT. You hauled em alive and I hauled em dead. I drove Diamond REO COE, KW COE, T600 and W 9er, White/Volvos, Mack, all of the Freightshakers, Intertrashionals, 359 and 379 Petes. My last truck was a 379 with a 550 Cat and an 18 speed. Some of the trucks had Detroits and Cummins. I am from MT and got off the road in 2016 because of ELogs and all of the bullshit regulations. I always thought the worst part of Memphis was those 2 shithole Pilots on Hwy 78 on the way to New Albany, MS. West Memphis, AR wasn't the greatest neither especially the Flying Hook. Much Respect to you, Brother. Hammer Down and keep the shiny side up. I am semi retired now, but still have my CDL. Sorry about the book. My dog got me up so I check out this video and saw your reply. Driving truck OTR and all, I have not had a decent night's sleep in 45 years. As the Truckers would say. "See You Another Day, Another Way." Take Care and God Bless You and Yours.

  19. N.... S....

    I’ve never been to Memphis, but I’ve always wanted to visit

  20. T.... O....

    This Song Was Released 26 Years Ago Today Still My Jam Gotta Love 90's Country 🎤🎶

  21. B.... W....

    She should be referring to West Memphis... what a hole

  22. D.... K....

    That's Santa fe Tennessee when it shows the gas station and Nashville sign. Yeah the little place i was born and got so much heritage. Im on the right side!

  23. r.... D....

    The Background Vocals Are Big & Rich

  24. E.... o....

    Love this song! Why does this video not have more views?

  25. J.... R....

    Ridin' down 40 with my ol' guitar

  26. J.... S....

    Anyone that has actually lived near Memphis knows that all sides of Memphis is the wrong side of Memphis.

    J.... S....

    I lived Newton for a minute. Left for WV and then NC. I should have stayed in NC. Nice people.

    J.... S....

    I absolutely love Memphis! It may be rough and at times "different" but it's beautiful. The sky line of Memphis at night is awesome.

    J.... S....

    @Johan...Right!! Lol.

    J.... S....

    Johan Svensson they don’t. You are sick.

    J.... S....

    LMAO THATS FUNNY!!!!!

  27. A.... N....

    Pretty, very traditional, really the best in country sector..

  28. n.... ....

    "Wrong Side Of Memphis" would become Trisha Yearwood's 2nd of 10 career Billboard #1 hits on 10-17-92

  29. i.... ....

    Written by the amazing Matraca Berg, who is a damned talented singer/songwriter.

  30. r.... ....

    Frayser?

  31. T.... E....

    she positively knocks the slats out of this song

  32. T.... M....

    she's so beautiful

  33. R.... J....

    If y'all only knew the wrong side of Memphis ....my city forever #901

  34. M.... ....

    Friggin' STRONG traditionalist COUNTRY!  So much more teeth than the top-40 sludge being released in Nashville today.

    M.... ....

    I am old enough to remember hearing folks say the same about this song!  :)

  35. M.... S....

    This and anything before it is what real country music sounds like, these so called artists now suck. Nothing but a bunch of industry made stars that all sound the same. I'm not a fan of country but I do enjoy most of what was produced in the 90s.

  36. S.... C....

    69 Tempest.......sweet car! Good ole' Nashville.

  37. D.... W....

    Born Patricia Lynn Yearwood. ACC's #69 song of the '92 survey year. Miss Yearwood hit #5 in Billboard, 10-10-92.

  38. M.... L....

    Features Raul Malo (lead singer of the Mavericks) on background vocals.

    M.... L....

    Matthew L. Lewis does that fucking matter???? NOPE. NOT AT ALL. Trisha is the only one that matters. Nobody gives a shit who is in the background

    M.... L....

    actually it does matter because Raul and Trisha were married at the time.

  39. K.... M....

    What is it about country songs with word Memphis in it?  I love every one of them.

  40. b.... c....

    Damn song trisha...great & amazing voice

  41. F.... W....

    Trisha, you're "babe-a-licious"!

  42. �.... ....

    So far, the best song I've heard by her... It could have been better. Though, the singing in this is superior to what I heard in the others.

  43. L.... ....

    Seriously one of her best songs and one of the best songs in country. Period. First concert i ever went to was trisha yearwood at the local county fair and i knew every word to every song on this TAPE.. i still remember it - thanks for the memories Trisha!!!

    L.... ....

    LuvMyCorgi408 ANYTHING that has EVER came out of her mouth is EQUALLY her best song. She's too talented to just have a few best songs or just ONE best song. They are ALL her best

  44. B.... ....

    Cant even spell Wyoming..shithead!...moron!

  45. 9.... ....

    goddamn vevo !

  46. b.... ....

    Trish knows a true Cowboy comes from Tennessee, not Texas or Whyoming!

    b.... ....

    Wyoming and Trisha Yearwood is from Oklahoma.

  47. Z.... M....

    leave the advertisements out and let the song play for once

  48. s.... ....

    It's her voice that's so provocative. She has this rich, twangy alto that soars above and all musical backing. What I've always loved about Trisha is that, much like prime Reba, she can take ANY song and make it her own.

  49. C.... G....

    I think they make them that way intentionally.

  50. s.... ....

    Not available on mobile.

    s.... ....

    sarahlajolietigresse then why the HECK am I sitting here with my android in my hand in my bedroom and my laptop is in the living room AND IT IS PLAYING ON MY PHONE????? your phone must be messed up

  51. 8.... ....

    This song makes me want to drive to Nashville, and I don't even have anything I want to see or do in Nashville.

    8.... ....

    8x13Wolf Nashville is incredible. Me my husband and kids live about 45 minutes from there. We go ALL the time. More than twice a week

  52. s.... ....

    Love it!!!

  53. f.... ....

    Happy Birthday Trisha.

  54. n.... ....

    ahhh, back when country was country and you had to have talent to make it and not just looks!!! my favorite times!!!!!

  55. M.... R....

    You know whats amazing about Trisha? She can hit the high notes without making that ugly face like most singers. I love how it comes so easy to her. She is true country music.

  56. B.... ....

    He forgot to take the gas cap off before pumping her gas...hahah 1969 Custom S convertibles are pretty rare too.

  57. V.... B....

    Tennessee must be an awesome place !

    V.... B....

    Vasilis BassGtr best place in the states

    V.... B....

    Heck yes I'm from Chattanooga Tennessee 2 hours from Nashville

    V.... B....

    @spiritual guidance 7777 k 35 min from there. 😊👍

  58. L.... H....

    This is real music SERIOUSLY

  59. S.... M....

    trisha, you are beautiful and blessed with a voice from heaven!!!

  60. D.... W....

    'Miss Yearwood' hit #5 in Billboard, 10-10-92. God bless!

  61. T.... H....

    This is an awesome song and Trisha certainly can sing her heart out and unlike some of today's female country singers, Trisha sticks to her roots, not dressing so provocative or taking her clothes off on stage.

    and also, this song was her 5th Top 10 Country Hit here in America and a cult favorite and plus, today is Trisha's 46th Birthday and she still looks good

    Happy Birthday to you Trisha and God Bless and this song was out when California Dreams and Ghostwriter Debuted on Television.

  62. A.... W....

    she reminds me of my cousin an awful lot!

  63. S.... R....

    Love it!!

  64. L.... L....

    Trisha has the best voice, ever!!!!
