40 Miles From Memphis Lyrics by Charlie Marie

Ramble On

2015

[Verse 1]
I can't stop thinkin’ of you
All these nights I've been crying on my pillow
I'm pushing down on my blue suede boots
Got the windows rolled down, the pedal to the metal
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A small-town southern boy
Meets a midtown city girl
He wanted to be true and settle down
I wanted to see the world
[Chorus]
Forty miles from Memphis
I’m driving all night through
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
It took me a while to get this
I'm on my way back to you
I hope it's not too late when I get home
Forty miles from Memphis
[Verse 2]
I walked on the wild side
Followed anywhere the wind was blowing
Smooth talking, big time player lines
Pulled me in without me even knowing
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Somewhere deep inside
I still knew wrong from right
Running on empty
Blind but then I saw the light
[Chorus]
Forty miles from Memphis
I'm driving all night through
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
It took me a while to get this
I’m on my way back to you
I hope it’s not too late when I get home
Forty miles from Memphis
Forty miles from Memphis
[Bridge]
I hope our love is not a wasteland
Don't leave me crying at the gates Graceland
[Chorus]
Forty miles from Memphis
I’m driving all night through
You never know a good thing 'til it's gone
It took me a while to get this
I'm on my way back to you
I hope it’s not too late when I get home
Forty miles from Memphis
Forty miles from Memphis
Forty miles from Memphis
