I think this song is about the narrator who was searching for musical inspiration in Memphis and ended up with a spiritual awakening.
I think this because of all the reverences he makes to famous musicians and song writers. Especailly when he says:
"W.C. Handy- won't you look down over me."
He also makes refrence to praying, and towards the end of the song he says he is Cristian.
