Two Cigarettes Out of Memphis
Two Cigarettes Out of Memphis
©2011 J. K. Coltrain

Spent most all my life playin' music from town to town
You spent almost half of yours hopin' that someday I'd settle down
And heaven only knows all the hell I musta put you through, put you through
I'm just two cigarettes out of Memphis, but I'm a million miles from you

Chorus

Two cigarettes out of Memphis but I'm a million miles from you
I called to say I was comin' home and you told me I had no home to come home to
And I can't stop this pain no more than I can stop this rain I'm drivin' through, drivin' through
I'm just two cigarettes out of Memphis but I'm a million miles from you


I know it must have been hard on you livin' someone elses dreams
Specially when that dream ain't never comin' true, or so it seems
And I can't say I blame you fo rfinally givin' up and saying that we're through, we're all through
Now I'm just two cigarettes out of Memphis but I'm a million miles from you

Chorus

Two cigarettes out of Memphis but I'm a million miles from you
I called to say I was comin' home and you told me I had no home to come home to
And I can't stop this pain no more than I can stop this rain I'm drivin' through, drivin' through
I'm just two cigarettes out of Memphis but I'm a million miles from you


(tag) Lord I'm just two cigarettes out of Memphis but I'm a million miles from you
