Miles to Memphis

Miles to Memphis - Chris Knight

Two cups of coffee

Back on the road

Eighty 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

I'm lookin through the windsheild

Holding back the night

I'm 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

I'm lookin through the windsheild

Holding back the night

I'm lookin through the windsheild

For the morning light

Coat you wore last winter is

The only thing you left behind

I know it's warm in memphis but you might

Need it some time

It's fourty miles to memphis but

It's best to pass on through

It's the only thing I took away that

I can give back to you

I'm lookin through the windsheild

Holding back the night

I'm lookin through the windsheild

For the morning light

I'm lookin through the windsheild

No end in sight

I'm lookin through the windsheild

For the morning light
