That old highway down to Memphis late last night was a lonely time to k** We just drove through Little Rock and you've only been on my mind since Nashville As I lay my head down on the bed in the back I hear that turbo diesel whine In my dreams you're kissing me as we cross the Texas line We've got a show tonight in Dallas I think we hit the stage around midnight I sure hope the band is cooking I want to leave those Texans feeling right Then we head out for the West Coast they say that it's the best coast But I don't think that's true but tonight it doesn't matter much All I ever think about is you CHORUS So hold on darling don't let this dream die I'm gonna love you long after all the oceans turn dry With my heart in my hand I'll be standing at your door Your traveling man will never leave you any more Your traveling man has come to take you away L.A. was a bust they never had much time for us I guess they were busy with the O.J. show I don't think too much about it now Won't be long before we're back in the land of the snow We've got two nights in San Francisco Then it's off to Colorado; it's a good thing I was born to roam It was colder up in Boulder but we got the warmest shoulder Made these blues boys feel at home Then its north by northwest to the land I know the best North of the 49 Soon I'll be heading in your direction Won't be long before you're in these arms of mine CHORUS That old highway down to Memphis late last night was a lonely time to k** We just drove through Little Rock and you've only been on my mind since Nashville Repeat last two lines
