Memphis Lyrics - Liz Longley - Liz Longley

The t.v.'s on again 

You're watching the weatherman 

I know you're thinking about leaving 

when the skies are clear 

I wouldn't stand in your way 

I wouldn't try to make you stay 

I'd watch you get in your car 

I know you wouldn't get far from here 

You wouldn't make it to Memphis 

You wouldn't make it half way 

You take that lonely road 

and you realize your mistakes 

You wouldn't make it to Memphis 

oh no you'd come around 

You think of the things that you could have done 

Wonder what it was you were running from 

And all you'd miss 

You wouldn't make it to Memphis 

When i fell in love with you 

There was nothing we couldn't get through 

We had our doubts, we talked them out 

till the sun went down 

Now i sit here at home 

Waiting on the telephone 

The skies aren't clear and you're not here 

So i just keep telling myself 

You wouldn't make it to Memphis 

You wouldn't make it half way 

You take that lonely road 

and you realize your mistake 

You wouldn't make it Memphis 

oh no you'd come around 

You think of all the things that you could have done 

Wonder what it was you were running from 

And all you'd miss 

You wouldn't make it to Memphis 

Maybe you'll change your mind 

Maybe you just need time 

Still i can't help but cry 

You wouldn't make it to Memphis 

You wouldn't make it half way 

Take that lonely road 

And you realize this was all one big mistake 

You ain't going to Memphis 

I know you'd come around 

If we never had a chance could you live with that 

Better breath it all in when you're looking back 

Just think of all the things that you could have done 

Wonder what it was you were running from 

And all you'd miss 

You wouldn't make it to Memphis
