this far from memphis

she said goodbye in tallahassee

i just crawled in my truck

set my mind on miami

and my sights on better luck

ain't a man deserves to hurt like this

it's a lonely place

it sure is

guess i never really knew the blues

ever got this far from memphis

all the night life and the beaches

couldn't soothe my achin' soul

and how i ended up in key west

god and the liquor only know

now i've run out of road

so i guess my only hope

is to trade this truck for a boat

ever got this far from memphis

man

i'm a long ways from memphis
