|
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 |
