| 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 a 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 |
