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
Ooh, that's where my family's buried and gone (gone)
Oh yeah
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Oh, next to them there in Memphis, yeah
In the damn back lawn

I didn't know that I was in the crowd
Oh and then 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
Ooh, that's where my family are buried and gone (gone)
Oh yeah
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Oh, next to them there in Memphis, yeah
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
Ooh, except for the one I'm stumbling down (down)
And I'll, I'll be damned if I ever get this
Little son of a bitch from Memphis
Oh, someday I guess I guess
Yeah and I haven't forgot
Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Um yeah)
Yeah (yeah)

(Yeah)
