Miles To Memphis - Chris Knight Lyrics
Miles To Memphis
80 miles to memphis, is what the lady told
she smiled and thanked me, when she picked up my change
says "you have a safe trip, stay out of the rain"
chorus:
im lookin through the windsheild
holding back the night
im lookin through the windsheild
for the morning light
the song on the radio, it used to make you cry
i only heard the last verse, then it passed me by
i asked you long ago, what you wanted in this life
a long way from memphis, you became my wife
repeat chorus
the coat you wore last winter, is the only thing you left behind
i know its warm in memphis, but you might need it some time
its 40 miles to memphis, but its best to pass on through
its the only i took away that i can give back to you
repeat chorus
im lookin through the windsheild
no end in sight
im lookin through the windsheild
for the morning light
