|
You were a million miles behind |
|
And I was crying every time I'd leave you |
|
Then I didn't want to see you |
|
I still keep my watch two hours behind |
|
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis |
|
That's where my family's buried and gone |
|
Last time I was there I noticed a space left |
|
Next to them there in Memphis |
|
In the damn back lawn |
|
I didn't know that I was in the crowd |
|
And the fresh cut grass stopped growing |
|
Everything on my shelf has fallen |
|
I still keep my watch two hours behind |
|
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis |
|
That's where my family's buried and gone |
|
Last time I was there I noticed a space left |
|
Next to them there in Memphis |
|
In the damn back lawn |
|
Was that bridge I was crossing |
|
Somewhere I stopped walking |
|
I guess I fell off on my own |
|
I heard all the roads they lead to Memphis |
|
Except for the one I'm stumbling down |
|
And I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis |
|
Well it's all there I guess |
|
And I haven't forgot |
