Paroles de Mile Out of Memphis

When she told me she was leaving, I told her I'd be fine

I guess I never thought she'd make it to that city limit sign

Lord, I waited twenty minutes thinking 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

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


She's just a mile outside of Memphis [unverified]



Lord, I wish that I could stop her but I know that it's too late

Her mind's made up, boy, she's out on that interstate

She's ain't a mile out of Memphis and I'm already out of your mind

Oh, I can't stop her this time

She's just a mile out of Memphis and I'm already out of my mind
