She said goodbye in Tallahassee
I just crawled in my truck
Set my mind on Miami
And my sights on better luckAin't no man deserves to hurt like this
It's a lonely place, it sure is
Guessed I never really knew the blues
Ever got this far from MemphisAll the night life and the beaches
Couldn't soothe my achin' soul
And how I ended up in Key West
God and the liquor only knowAin't no man deserves to hurt like this
It's a lonely place, it sure is
Guessed I never really knew the blues
Ever got this far from MemphisNow I've run out of road
So I guess my only hope
Is to trade this truck for a boatAin't no man deserves to hurt like this
It's a lonely place, it sure is
Guessed I never really knew the blues
Ever got this far from MemphisEver got this far from Memphis
Man, I'm a long way from Memphis
