18 Miles to Memphis Lyrics by Stray Cats

Rant N’ Rave With The Stray Cats

0

We've been driving all night long
Just to reach our destination in your town
We've come five hundred miles
Everyone's asleep, there's not a sound
Oh, eighteen wheels are rolling
Eighteen wheels are rolling around and around

Please, mister driver, won't you pull over here
We're really hungry
Yeah, well, we'll have fourteen steak and eggs
Fourteen orange juices and fourteen cups of coffee
Let's get back on the bus
This is one place that I really wanna see

Well, we're eighteen miles from Memphis
Eighteen miles from Memphis
Yeah, eighteen miles to Memphis
Eighteen miles to Memphis

Got a rocket in my pocket
And I've lit the fuse
I'm taking off in your direction
Have you heard the news?
We're just eighteen miles from Memphis
And I won't leave till I've rocked you all

Alabama, Mississippi
Florida, Louisiana, big ol' Texas
From New England down to Georgia
Kansas City, Colorado, California
Well, it's the last night of our tour
Gonna rock you though the roof, just wait and see

Yeah, we're eighteen miles from Memphis
Eighteen miles from Memphis
Oh, eighteen miles from Memphis
Eighteen miles from Memphis

Yeah, eighteen miles to Memphis
Eighteen miles to Memphis
Oh, eighteen miles to Memphis
Eighteen miles to Memphis

Well, we're eighteen miles from Memphis
And we won't leave till we've rocked you all
