Well I'd like to go to Memphis
But I don't know the way
And I'd like to tell you how I feel
But I don't know what to say
And I love to go to heaven
But I've forgotten how to pray
So just help me keeping
From sliding down some more
Well I tried to get back to her
But I got lost on the way
I'd start again tomorrow
But I don't know what day it is
And I'd sure like to love you
If you show me the way
Just help me keeping
From sliding down some more
I don't know what it's like out there
But in here it's getting darker
I've got a lot of things to share
But it's sure rough getting there
Well I'd like to give you all I've got
But I don't know what that is
And I'd like to take you with me
But I don't know where that is
And I know there must be something
Some place some way to live
So just help me keeping
From sliding down some more
