Billy Ray Cyrus - Back To Memphis Lyrics






It ain't natural for a delta man
To be surrounded by all this sand
To fear the echoes of live rounds
And to never sleep when the sun goes down
So I'm writing you this letter
To say I miss you more than ever and to promise you this

When I make it back to memphis
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And never let you go
And girl I promise you a kiss
For every day we've missed
'til I make it back to memphis

I'll have to say I think we've done some good
If I had to do it all again I know I would
There's still a few shots every now and then
But they say this thing is finally coming to an end
So this might be my final letter
I say the sooner the better cause I'm ready to come home

When I make it back to memphis
I'm gonna take you in my arms
And never let you go
And girl I promise you a kiss
For every day we've missed
'til I make it back to memphis

She reads his letters everyday, then she puts them all away
Next to his medal and a flag, that she would gladly give back

If it would bring him back to memphis
So he could take her in his arms
And never let her go
Cause she's still waiting for a kiss
For every day they've missed
'til he made it back to memphis

Back to memphis

  1. t.... g....

    This song could literally be slipped in with a 70s Country Classics album and no one would be able to tell it was Billy Ray. This is truly a great song.

  2. J.... C....

    2006 was such an innocent time when we still believed the military actually defended freedom instead of being used to serve the whims of the 1% who refuse to help out our veterans returning home damaged fighting a war for rich people...

  3. Q.... D....

    *Time Flies* was one of Billy Ray's best albums and it was slept on just like every album after *Storm In The Heartland*

  4. L.... B....

    SO BEAUTIFUL LOVE ALL YOUR SONG BILLY RAY

  5. J.... N....

    Seems like radio decided what he was worth based on Achey Breaky heart... so sad because he's got more talent than most of these new artists... 

    J.... N....

    Gail I was also in the audience for this performance. Great song and it should have done better on radio. God bless our men and women who are serving their country

    This is just the most beautiful and meaningful song. I was lucky enough to be there the day it was recorded at GAC! Radio really messed up by not latching onto this song so more could hear it! Gail B.

    LOVE this song. It's a shame it never got the airplay from radio or video stations that it so deserved. Maybe here on YouTube people will finally get to see it. Thanks for posting it.
