Lyrics
Checking out Memphis in my rear view mirror, prettiest sight I've seen all year. I'm trying to come alive now honey nearly drank myself to death over loosing you. Didn't know what else to do.
Headin' out for a Rocky Mountain high. Sit by a beaver stream and get my head right. Life goes on for sure and I know someday I'll wear a smile when I think of you, but for now I just feel blue!
Go to Texas play that cowboy game. Cry out that anguish alone out on the range, or try and dig the ocean running away from my own bruised big fat ego. Oh honey I just don't know.
So now I'm checking out Memphis in my rear view mirror. Prettiest sight that I've seen all year. Tryin' to come alive now honey nearly drank myself to death over loosing you.
Checkin out Memphis in my rearview mirror. The prettiest sight that I've seen all this year. Life goes on for sure and I know some day I'll wear a smile when I think of you. In fact I already do.Honey life goes on for sure and I know someday I'll wear a smile when I think of you. ooo-ooo when I think of you.
Life goes on for sure and I know some day I'll wear a smile when I think of you. Ooo-ooo when I think of you.
