Anywhere But Memphis |
| Called her from a payphone down on Beil Street |
| On my way to Birmingham |
| Said she was tired of never seeing me |
| She needed more than a guitar man |
| As the lonesome notes filled the midnight sky |
| I wiped my tears and wished that I was |
| Anywhere but Memphis |
| Any other place would have made a difference |
| The way the blues pour out of the dives and bars |
| Ain’t no place for a broken heart |
| She could’ve told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas |
| Anywhere but Memphis |
| Wish she could’ve worked up her courage |
| And let me down in Little Rock |
| Or even as far back as Pheonix |
| When I stopped to call from that truckstop |
| Telling me sooner was just too hard |
| She could’ve waited 'til later to break my heart |
| Anywhere but Memphis |
| Any other place would have made a difference |
| The way the blues pour out of the dives and bars |
| Ain’t no place for a broken heart |
| She could’ve told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas |
| Anywhere but Memphis |
