There was a girl from Memphis
True-blood American
She left her home with nothing
With Hollywood her only plan
But you and I, we've been there
Remember how we ran
When we bought the Cadillac, we drove all night
All the way to California
They had to raise us up to listen
I had to pray to god they'd see
If you stand your ground, ain't gonna hold you down
'Cause you got it all to give
Baby, you got it all to give
Jimmy worked the railroad
Dreams forgotten all the way
Sinks another bottle, but he's still
Pushing for that daughter again
But you and I, we've been there
Remember how we ran
When we bought the Cadillac, we drove all night
All the way to California
They had to raise us up to listen
I had to pray to god they'd see
If you stand your ground, ain't gonna hold you down
'Cause you got it all to give
Baby, you got it all to give
They had to raise us up to listen
I had to pray to god they'd see
If you stand your ground, ain't gonna hold you down
'Cause you got it all to give
They had to raise us up to listen
I had to pray to god they'd see
If you stand your ground, ain't gonna hold you down
'Cause you got it all to give
Baby, you got it all to give
Baby, you got it all to give
