If you're returning to Asheville, I would suggest a "loop" trip. Do Asheville, Knoxville, Nashville/Franklin, Memphis, then US 61 to Tunica, and south to Vicksburg.

Take US Hwy 64 east and rejoin the Natchez Trace back to Nashville or continue on 64 to Chattanooga.
BTW, don't depend on the Memphis trolley. It covers 3-5 miles along the waterfront, with one spur toward the center of the city, awaiting future development.
