[Verse 1] I cant stop thinkin of you All these nights Ive been crying on my pillow Im pushing down on my blue suede boots Got the windows rolled down, the pedal to the metal [PreChorus 1] A smalltown southern boy Meets a midtown city girl He wanted to be true and settle down I wanted to see the world [Chorus] Forty miles from Memphis Im driving all night through You never know a good thing til its gone It took me a while to get this Im on my way back to you I hope its not too late when I get home Forty miles from Memphis [Verse 2] I walked on the wild side Followed anywhere the wind was blowing Smooth talking, big time player lines Pulled me in without me even knowing [PreChorus 2] Somewhere deep inside I still knew wrong from right Running on empty Blind but then I saw the light [Chorus] Forty miles from Memphis Im driving all night through You never know a good thing til its gone It took me a while to get this Im on my way back to you I hope its not too late when I get home Forty miles from Memphis Forty miles from Memphis [Bridge] I hope our love is not a wasteland Dont leave me crying at the gates Graceland [Chorus] Forty miles from Memphis Im driving all night through You never know a good thing til its gone It took me a while to get this Im on my way back to you I hope its not too late when I get home Forty miles from Memphis Forty miles from Memphis Forty miles from Memphis
