All the miles 'tween here and Arkansas They can't keep me from you Though your boss and all the bills at home Might try their damnedest to Yeah, you won me with your witty jokes And the sweetness in your smiles And now all my hopes are tangled up in telephone wires I've got gas to get to Memphis I've got cash to get a room I know the miles add up, darling But let me spend the night with you Yeah, it'll be an early morning It's a damn long way to drive But won't you meet me in Memphis tonight? You know I used to light you up But has our fire begun to fade? Yeah, is it my imagination, or was it brighter yesterday? Was it the flicker of a candle reflecting in your eyes? And darling, all my hopes are tangled up in telephone wires I've got gas to get to Memphis I've got cash to get a room I know the miles add up, darling But let me spend the night with you Yeah, it'll be an early morning It's a damn long way to drive But won't you meet me in Memphis tonight? All this distance has your heart worn thin But I swear it's not too late We can mend the broken pieces if you just meet me halfway 'Cause I've got gas to get to Memphis I've got cash to get a room I know the miles add up, darling But let me spend the night with you Yeah, it'll be an early morning It's a damn long way to drive But won't you meet me in Memphis tonight? Yeah, won't you meet me in Memphis tonight? Oh, won't you meet me in Memphis tonight?
