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
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 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
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 bitch from Memphis
Well it´s all there I guess
And I haven´t forgot
