Memphis By Midnight

BIG WHEELS ROLLIN’ ON SOUTHBOUND
YOU CAN TASTE THE DIESEL WINE
TRYIN’ TO MAKE MEMPHIS BY MIDNIGHT
ON THE BORDERLINE
THERE’S A WAITRESS SERVES COFFEE
TO THE MIDNIGHT LOST AND FOUND
SHE’S HAD EVERY HARD LUCK STORY
THAT’S GONE AROUND

SHE REMEMBERS WHAT THEY TOLD HER
RUNNIN’ OFF TO CALIFORNIA
MOM AND DADDY YOU WERE RIGHT
HOW I WISH I COULD BE HOME TONIGHT
IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN
I’D DO IT DIFFERENT NEXT TIME

HAD A DREAM TO GET OUT SOMEDAY
MAKE A GOOD LIFE FOR HERSELF
RIDE A GREYHOUND TO THE WEST COAST
LIKE SHE PROMISED
THERE’S A PAST BUT IT’S BEHIND HER
THOSE GHOSTS SHE’S PUT AWAY
THE BIG TRUCK LIGHTS BLIND HER
BUT SHE DON’T CARE

SHE REMEMBERS WHAT THEY TOLD HER
RUNNIN’ OFF TO CALIFORNIA
MOM AND DADDY YOU WERE RIGHT
GOD I WISH I COULD BE HOME TONIGHT
IF I HAD THE CHANCE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN
I’D DO IT DIFFERENT

SOME PEOPLE CHANGE
DREAMS STAY THE SAME
SUNSHINE THROUGH THE RAIN

SHE REMEMBERS WHAT THEY TOLD HER
RUNNIN’ OFF TO CALIFORNIA
MOM AND DADDY YOU WERE RIGHT
PACKED A BAG I’M COMIN’ HOME TONIGHT
WHEN I GET MY CHANCE TO DO IT ALL AGAIN
I’LL DO IT DIFFERENT NEXT TIME
