MILES TO MEMPHIS - CHRIS KNIGHT
CAPO I
E A E
2 CUPS OF COFFEE AND IM BACK ON THE ROAD
B E
80 MILES TO MEMPHIS, IS WHAT THE LADY TOLD
SHE SMILED AND THANKED ME, WHEN SHE PICKED UP MY CHANGE
SAYS "YOU HAVE A SAFE TRIP, STAY OUT OF THE RAIN"
CHORUS:
A E
IM LOOKIN THROUGH THE WINDSHEILD
A E
HOLDING BACK THE NIGHT
A E
IM LOOKIN THROUGH THE WINDSHEILD
B E
FOR THE MORNING LIGHT
THE SONG ON THE RADIO, IT USED TO MAKE YOU CRY
I ONLY HEARD THE LAST VERSE, THEN IT PASSED ME BY
I ASKED YOU LONG AGO, WHAT YOU WANTED IN THIS LIFE
A LONG WAY FROM MEMPHIS, YOU BECAME MY WIFE
REPEAT CHORUS
THE COAT YOU WORE LAST WINTER, IS THE ONLY THING YOU LEFT BEHIND
I KNOW ITS WARM IN MEMPHIS, BUT YOU MIGHT NEED IT SOME TIME
ITS 40 MILES TO MEMPHIS, BUT ITS BEST TO PASS ON THROUGH
ITS THE ONLY I TOOK AWAY THAT I CAN GIVE BACK TO YOU
REPEAT CHORUS
IM LOOKIN THROUGH THE WINDSHEILD
NO END IN SIGHT
IM LOOKIN THROUGH THE WINDSHEILD
FOR THE MORNING LIGHT
