Lights Out

You were a million miles behind

And I was crying every time I'd leave you

Then I didn't want to see you

I still keep my watch two hours behind

Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis

That's where my family's buried and gone, oh yeah

Last time I was there I noticed a space left, oh

Next to them there in Memphis, yeah

In the damn back lawn

I didn't know that I was in the crowd

Oh, and the fresh cut grass stopped growing

Everything on my shelf has fallen

I still keep my watch two hours behind

Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis

Ooh, that's where my family, they're buried and gone, oh yeah

Last time I was there I noticed a space left, oh

Next to them there in Memphis, yeah

In the damn back lawn

Was that a bridge I was crossing?

Somewhere I stopped walking

I guess I fell off on my own

I heard all the roads, they lead to Memphis

Ooh, except for the one I'm stumbling down

And I'll, I'll be damned if I ever get this little

Son of a bitch from Memphis

Well, it's all there I guess

Yeah, and I haven't forgot
