Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was hiding from the sun once again
I was running from time, my friend
I lost another war
So I poured one more
And I went home drunk again
[Verse 2]
She was up when the key hit the lock
And the clock looked at me just like the devil in disguise
I saw it in her eyes
She'd be gone before the evening
[Verse 3]
So I poured another strong one
And chopped a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis
[Verse 4]
With a brand new start
I swore I'd love from the heart
I meant to change my ways
But I've seen better days
Than the one that's here this morning, mhmm
[Verse 5]
With a wife and kids at home
With a job somewhere on some assembly line
I wish I had that life
I bet you wish you had mine
[Verse 6]
So let's pour another tall one
And chop a line from here to Texas
'Cause I've lost another good one
She's on the midnight train to Memphis
[Verse 7]
Dude, what station is this, K snooze?
Kid Rock, I thought he was American Bad Ass
He's putting me to sleep
Nudge me if he gets over five decibels
I knew his first album was the good one
[Verse 8]
But that's the way I am, and this is how I jam
All across the land from Alabam' to bandstand
Doped up rebel with an attitude, shit
So fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch, fuck a bitch
[Verse 9]
I won't switch, won't quit my vices
Flip the script 'cause I'm a slice the righteous
Haven't you heard? I don't refrain
Free as a bird, and so I won't change
[Verse 10]
Living it up, giving it up, fucking shit up, what
I'm a run the track from the D to Nantucket
So fuck it, if you don't dig that you can suck it
Yeah, and it don't
[Verse 11]
With an old suitcase, I swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you back in time
Can't drink you off my mind
So I'll see you when I'm sober
[Verse 12]
I been looking for some reason
But I ain't found one down in Texas
I been changing with the seasons
Walking a new line back to Memphis
