You were a million miles behind
Mmm
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
Oh
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
Ooh
That's where my family
They're 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 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
Ooh
Except 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
Well it's all there I guess
Yeah
And I haven't forgot

Yeah
Oh
Oh
Yeah
