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
  Last time I was there I noticed a space left
  Next to them there in Memphis
  In the damn back lawn
    I didn't know that I was in the crowd
  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
  That's where my family's buried and gone
  Last time I was there I noticed a space left
  Next to them there in Memphis
  In the damn back lawn
    Was that 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
  Except for the one I'm stumbling down
  And I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis
  Well it's all there I guess
  And I haven't forgot
