Anywhere But Memphis

歌詞

Called her from a payphone down on Beil street On my way to Birmingham Said she was tired of never seeing me She needed more than a guitar man As the lonesome notes filled the midnight sky I wiped my tears and wished that I was Anywhere but Memphis Any other place would have made a difference The way the blues pour out of the dives and bars Aint no place for a broken heart She could've told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas Anywhere but Memphis Wish she could've worked up her courage And let me down in Little Rock Or even as far back as Pheonix When I stopped to call from that truckstop Telling me sooner was just too hard She could've waited till later to break my heart Anywhere but Memphis Any other place would have made a difference The way the blues pour out of the dives and bars Aint no place for a broken heart She could've told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas Anywhere but Memphis
