Miles to Memphis - Chris Knight

2 cups of coffee and im back on the road

80 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»

Im lookin through the windsheild

Holding back the night

Im 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

Repeat chorus

The coat you wore last winter, is the only thing you left behind

I know its warm in memphis, but you might need it some time

Its 40 miles to memphis, but its best to pass on through

Its the only i took away that i can give back to you

Repeat chorus

Im lookin through the windsheild

No end in sight

Im lookin through the windsheild

For the morning light
