Marc Cohn was first inspired to write the song after a visit to Memphis, Tennessee. He then lived in New York City, working as a session singer while aiming for his own recording contract.
I was 28 years old and not in love with my songs. It's never going to happen for me. He visited Memphis after reading an interview with James Taylor, where the singer said he overcame writer's block by "go[ing] somewhere I've never been, hoping to find some idea I wouldn't get just by sitting at home". Cohn followed Taylor's idea, choosing Memphis: "I always knew it was a place I had to visit because so much of my favorite music came from there. He later recalled that after arriving in Memphis: "I did all the [expected] touristy things I went to Graceland, and I saw Elvis Presley's tomb and his airplanes".
Cohn later said he wasn't sure about referencing Elvis in the lyrics of the song. I [soon] had chills running up and down my spine. Even after three hours of continuous singing, his voice only got stronger and his band only got better.
