lyrics

Drifting south on the Memphis queen
Losing site of the places that I've been
There comes a moment when the die gets cast
And a marker's called on this gambler's past

So, will you be waiting there for me?
You are the place I long to be

I’ve been deceitful, I’ve been proper mean
Far from the man that I know I could have been
Your love was true, faithful from the start
While I cursed and cheated and I broke your heart

So, will you be waiting there for me?
You are the place I long to be

These hands are old now and past their best
From palming cards and from fixing decks
They made a fist and they held the knife
That changed the course of a stranger's life

So, will you be waiting there for me?
You are the place I long to be

So now I’m going to meet my fate
And right my wrongs before it gets too late
I may not make it, but I know for sure
I’ll never gamble with your love any more

So, will you be waiting there for me?
You are the place I long to be
