Memphis Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Busy fear is wrestlin'

Like insects in the weeds

We are busy watching

And fall down from the trees



[Pre-Chorus 1]

You go to Memphis

And we will watch you leave

Settle quiet on the freeway

And we no longer see

You drive away

Drive away



[Chorus]

I'll be wide awake

Thinkin' ‘bout all of the good times gone away

You'll be wide awake

Thinkin' ‘bout all of the damn good reasons why you just can't stay

Why you just can't stay



[Verse 2]

Maybe I'm just feeling

Impatient once again

Like all this celebration

Is for your new life to begin



[Pre-Chorus 2]

And if we keep on staying

Just kick ours down the road

Day-drinking in the sunshine

And how victorious we'll be

When we drive away

Drive away



[Chorus]

I'll be wide awake

Thinkin' ‘bout all of the good times gone away

You'll be wide awake

Thinkin' ‘bout all of the damn good reasons why you just can't stay

Why you just can't stay



I'll be wide awake

Thinkin' ‘bout all of the good times gone away

You'll be wide awake

Thinkin' ‘bout all of the damn good reasons

All the damn good reasons that you just can't stay
