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, oh, 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, yeah

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 their buried and 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

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, I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis

Oh-oh, it's all there I guess, yeah

I haven't forgot
