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
