this far from memphis

she said goodbye in tallahassee, i just crawled in my truck, set my mind on miami, and my sights on better luck, ain't a man deserves to hurt like this, it's a lonely place, it sure is, guess i never really knew the blues, ever got this far from memphis, all the night life and the beaches, couldn't soothe my achin' soul, and how i ended up in key west, god and the liquor only know, now i've run out of road, so i guess my only hope, is to trade this truck for a boat, ever got this far from memphis, man, i'm a long ways from memphis
