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 mephis
well it's all there i guess
and i haven't forgotten.
