Well, I've never been to Memphis   But I kind of like the drawl   I'd drink with any man   Who knows a lonesome desert crawl      I know some words   But I don't know them all   I like my baby   Stupid poetry and all      I'm 10 miles south of nowhere   10 miles from the nearest bar      I rode out of suburbia at half past 24   I had a couple beers, I had a couple more      I lost my way   Someone nailed me to the wall   I'm legless now   I'm learning how to crawl      I'm 10 miles south of nowhere   10 miles from the nearest bar      I danced with blind republicans   I mowed the white house lawn   I drank like Frank Sinatra   Till the cops showed up at dawn   I ruled the world   Yeah, I was feelin' pretty good      I scored some points when noone thought I would      But now I'm 10 miles south of nowhere   10 miles from the nearest bar      Well, I've never been to Memphis   Guess I'll never get there now   I'll look just like a ghost when I'm passin through your town   But I've ran with kings   And I've slummed with movie stars      Now I'm just a phantom on the tar      Yeah, I'm 10 miles south of nowhere   10 miles from the nearest bar      10 miles south of nowhere   10 miles from the nearest bar (2x)
