[Verse 1:]
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
[Chorus:]
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
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn
[Verse 2:]
I didn't know that I was in the crowd
And the fresh cut gra** stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
[Repeat Chorus:]
[Bridge:]
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 be damned if I ever get
This little son of a b**h from Memphis
Well, it's all there I guess
And I haven't forgot
