The day since i met her
  i can't believe it's true
  she came here from memphis
  across the ocean sailing
  and i saw her a i pleaded
  why do you come so far and she said
  trying to get to you
  how i tried to get you
  trying to get you
  i'm sending a letter
  i'll send it right to you
  i'll send it to memphis
  i know that someday
  everything i needed and i wanted
  used to be that my head was haunted
  and all these sirens they make me mad
  and all this violence it brings me down
  i feel strong i feel lucky
  trying to get to you
  said i'm going to get to you
  trying to get to you.
