Rob Crosby - A Mile Out of Memphis lyrics

When she told me she was leaving I said, "Honey, that'd be fine." I guess I never thought she'd make it To that city limit sign Lord, I waited twenty minutes I thought she'd come running back But this fool got fooled Cause she's already out there making tracks She's just a mile outside of Memphis And I'm already out of my mind Lord, I must have lost my senses To let that little girl leave me behind I wish that I could stop her But I know that it's too late Her mind's made up She's headed down that Interstate She's a mile out of Memphis And I'm already out of my mind You gave her heartaches until she'd had enough She laid her cards on the table And that's when she called your bluff Oh, you never should have gambled What you could not stand to lose And now you know why they call Memphis The home of the blues, oh yeah She's just a mile outside of Memphis
