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. 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. (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. 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. (Chorus)
