Memphis

The t.v.'s on again You're watching the weatherman I know you're thinking about leaving When the skies are clear I wouldn't stand in your way I wouldn't try to make you stay I'd watch you get in your car I know you wouldn't get far from here You wouldn't make it to Memphis You wouldn't make it half way You take that lonely road And you realize your mistakes You wouldn't make it to Memphis Oh no you'd come around You think of the things that you could have done Wonder what it was you were running from And all you'd miss You wouldn't make it to Memphis When i fell in love with you There was nothing we couldn't get through We had our doubts, we talked them out Till the sun went down Now i sit here at home Waiting on the telephone The skies aren't clear and you're not here So i just keep telling myself You wouldn't make it to Memphis You wouldn't make it half way You take that lonely road And you realize your mistake You wouldn't make it Memphis Oh no you'd come around You think of all the things that you could have done Wonder what it was you were running from And all you'd miss You wouldn't make it to Memphis Maybe you'll change your mind Maybe you just need time Still i can't help but cry You wouldn't make it to Memphis You wouldn't make it half way Take that lonely road And you realize this was all one big mistake You ain't going to Memphis I know you'd come around If we never had a chance could you live with that Better breath it all in when you're looking back Just think of all the things that you could have done Wonder what it was you were running from And all you'd miss You wouldn't make it to Memphis
