Mile Out Of Memphis Lyrics

Mile Out Of Memphis lyrics



When she told me she was leaving I told her I'd be fine

I guess I never thought she'd make it to that city limit sign

Lord I waited twenty minutes thinking she'd come running back

But this fool got fooled cause she's already out there making tracks

She's just a mile outside of Memphis and I'm already out of my mind

I must have lost my sesnses to let that little girl leave me behind

I wish that I could stop her but I know that it's too late

Her mind's made up she's headed down that interstate

She's a mile out of Memphis and I'm already out of my mind



You gave her heartaches until she'd enough

She laid her cards on the table and that's when she called your bluff

Oh you never should have gambled what you could not stand to lose

And now you know why they call Memphis the home of the blues oh yeah

She's just a mile outside of Memphis...

[ guitar ]

Lord I wish that I could stop her but I know that it's too late

Her mind's made up boy she's out on that interstate

She's ain't a mile out of Memphis and I'm alreayd out of your mind

Oh I can't stop her this time

She's just a mile out of Memphis and I'm already out of my mind
