You were a million miles behind
Oh and I was crying
Every time I'd leave you
Then I didn't wanna see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turn the lights out there in memphis
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
In the damn back lawn
I didn't know that I was in the crowd
Oh yeah fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turn the lights out there in memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Oh yeah last time I was there I noticed a space left
Oh next to them there in memphis
In the damned 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
Except for the one I'm stumbling down
And I I'll be damned if I ever get
This little son of a ** from memphis
But someday I guess yeah I haven't forgot
Yeah
