They Never Made It To Memphis - Juice Newton (裘丝·纽顿)

Well she left St Louis in a Pontiac Tempest

Had her road map open red-lined through to Memphis

He was smokin' down the highway in a blue Cadillac

He smiled as he passed her and she smiled back

So they made a little stop at the Dove Café

To drink black coffee wile the hours away

She said I'm going to see Elvis make my dreams come true

He said I can't believe it that's my dream too

Then they started talking 'bout the money they'd save

If they rode together for the rest of the way

But they stopped to throw a penny in a wishing well

That sat out in the yard of a local motel

They never made it to Memphis they never saw the king

He saw a chance at heaven she saw a wedding ring

They got as far as the altar it was a fast affair

They never made it to Memphis but they didn't care

Well they couldn't understand where the time had flown

It was nineteen-ninety and the kids were grown

One day she admitted that she still had the dream

'Bout heading down south to see the home of the king

So they dropped off the dog with old Auntie Kate

And headed down to Graceland twenty years late

Well as soon as they hit that open road

Every twist and turn reminded them of long ago

He was thinking 'bout the kisses that he used to steal

It was getting real hard to keep his hands on the wheel

She looked as good to him now as she did back then

And they were sweet sixteen all over again

They never made it to Memphis they never saw the king

They made a little detour at the Dairy Queen

They found the Wishing Well Motel they did it on a dare

They never made it to Memphis but they didn't care

They never made it to Memphis but they didn't care

They never made it to Memphis but they didn't care
