D D/F# G
She said good- bye in Talla- hassee
D D/F# G
I just crawled in my truck
D D/F# G D/F#
Set my mind on Mi- ami
Em A D/F#
And my sights on better luck
[Chorus]
G A D D/F#
Ain't a man deserves to hurt like this
G A D D/F#
It's a lonely place, it sure is
G A Bm A
Guess I never really knew the blues
G A D G A
Ever got this far from Memphis
[Verse]
D D/F# G
All the night life and the beaches
D D/F# G
Couldn't soothe my achin' soul
D D/F# G D/F#
And how I ended up in Key West
Em A
God and the liquor only know
[Chorus]
G A D D/F#
Ain't a man deserves to hurt like this
G A D D/F#
It's a lonely place, it sure is
G A Bm A
Guess I never really knew the blues
G A D
Ever got this far from Memphis
[Bridge]
Bm G
Now I've run out of road
Bm G
So I guess my only hope
F#m A
Is to trade this truck for a boat
[Chorus]
G A D D/F#
Ain't a man deserves to hurt like this
G A D D/F#
It's a lonely place, it sure is
G A Bm A
Guess I never really knew the blues
G A D D/F#
Ever got this far from Memphis
[Outro]
G A D D/F#
Ever got this far from Memphis
G A D
Man, I'm a long ways from Memphis --- -----
