Miles To Memphis Lyrics - Heart Of Stone - Chris Knight

2 cups of coffee and I'm back on the road 

80 miles to memphis, is what the lady told 

She smiled and thanked me, when she picked up my change 

Says "you have a safe trip, stay out of the rain" 

Chorus: 

I'm lookin through the windsheild 

Holding back the night 

I'm lookin through the windsheild 

For the morning light 

The song on the radio, it used to make you cry 

I only heard the last verse, then it passed me by 

I asked you long ago, what you wanted in this life 

A long way from memphis, you became my wife 

Repeat chorus 

The coat you wore last winter, is the only thing you left behind 

I know it's warm in memphis, but you might need it some time 

It's 40 miles to memphis, but it's best to pass on through 

It's the only I took away that I can give back to you 

Repeat chorus 

I'm lookin through the windsheild 

No end in sight 

I'm lookin through the windsheild 

For the morning light
