You were a million miles behind
Umm 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
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
(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
That's where my family's buried and gone
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
Except for the one
I'm stumbling 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 and I haven't forgot
Oh oh O-oh oh oh
O-oh oh oh
