Lights Out
Lisa Marie Presley · Other Songs - Lisa Marie Presley
You were a million miles behind
And I was crying everytime I'd leave you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
CHORUS:
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there i noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis
In the damn back lawn
I didn't know that I was in the crowd
And the fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
CHORUS
Was that a bridge I was crossing
Somewhere I stopped walking
I guess i fell off on my own
I heard all the roads they lead to Memphis
Except the one I'm storming down
And I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis
Well it's all there I guess
And I haven't forgot
And I was crying everytime I'd leave you
Then I didn't want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
CHORUS:
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That's where my family's buried and gone
Last time I was there i noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis

I didn't know that I was in the crowd
And the fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
CHORUS
Was that a bridge I was crossing
Somewhere I stopped walking
I guess i fell off on my own
I heard all the roads they lead to Memphis
Except the one I'm storming down
And I'll be damned if I ever get this little son of a bitch from Memphis
Well it's all there I guess
And I haven't forgot
