Bm D A G D
Bm A G
Mr., I need a car, what you got?
Bm A G
I need somethin' runs good and don't cost a lot
D
'Cause I got a job workin' out of town
A G D
And a thousand dollars I can put down
Bm A G
There's just no work here anymore
Bm A G
Since they shut the factory doors
D
Bailed out Detroit, forgot a- bout me
A G D
So I had to take this work up in Tennes- see
[Chorus]
G A D
And the price of the dream is get- tin' high
A G D
So I go to Memphis on Sunday night
G A D
I leave my children, leave my wife
A G D
Yeah, I gotta go to Memphis on Sunday night
A G D
Yeah, I gotta go to Memphis on Sunday night
[Solo]
Bm D A G D
Bm A G
Still got our house but we're barely hangin' on
Bm A G
So this job's a good thing, I just hate that I gotta be gone
D
'Cause babies need their daddy, momma needs her man
A G D
And I'll get back every chance I can
[Chorus]
G A D
Oh, the price of the dream is get- tin' high
A G D
So I go to Memphis on Sunday night
G A D
Leave my children, leave my wife
A G D
Yeah, I gotta go to Memphis on Sunday night
A G D
Oh, I gotta go to Memphis on Sunday night
