You were a million miles behind
And I was crying every time Iīd leave you
Then I didnīt want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
Thatīs where my familyīs 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 didnīt 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
Thatīs where my familyīs 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 Iīm stumbling down
And Iīll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis
Well itīs all there I guess
And I havenīt forgot
