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
