Country roads
Old theatre marquee signs
Parkin' lots
And billboards flyin' by
Spanish moss
Little hicktown squares
Wild roses on a riverbank
Girl, it's almost like you're there, oh

Every mile a memory
Every song another scene
From some old movie
Goin' back in time for you and me
Every day a page turned down
Every night a lonesome sound
Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams
Every mile a memory

Red sundown
Out across the western sky
Takes me back
To the fire in your eyes
Texas stars in a purple night
Not seein' 'um with you, baby
Oh, they never do look right, no

Every mile a memory
Every song another scene
From some old movie
Goin' back in time for you and me
Every day a page turned down
Every night a lonesome sound
Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams
Every mile a memory

Funny how no matter where I run
'Round every bend I only see
Just how far I haven't come

Every mile a memory
Every song another scene
From some old movie
Goin' back in time
Every day a page turned down
Every night a lonesome sound
Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams
Every mile a memory
Every mile a memory
Every mile a memory
