Sur la route de Memphis [English translation]
Sur la route de Memphis [English translation]
I was listening to the disc-jockey
In the car that dragged me
On the road to Memphis
On the road to Memphis
And the radio was boasting
A stupid tune that lulled me to sleep
On the road to Memphis
On the road to Memphis
I'm coming towards you
You're waiting for me in your white dress
Love in the countryside
Looks a bit like a Sunday
In the front seat the driver
Drank beer while watching the time
On the road to Memphis
On the road to Memphis
Riding shotgun, a wolf-dog
Looked at me with crazy eyes
On the road to Memphis
On the road to Memphis
I'm coming towards you but not in a white Rolls
Wearing a costume a bit worn at the sleeves
I have the right to stay silent and to smoke
Keeping my wrists in cuffs
On the road to Memphis
On the road to Memphis
For once the cops won
Near you I will only pass by
On the road to Memphis
On the road to Memphis
