Lyrics
Written By Jonathan Ditto and Brian Brooks
from "Memphis to my heart"

Well there's a rainbow 'round the corner, and it's smiln' down on me
Grey skies behind me, Up ahead its clear to see
But bottled up inside , now its time to let it out
Even when I'm riding high I have to stop and shout
Cause it's a long, long way from Memphis to my heart
Yes it's a long, long way from Memphis to my heart
I traveled many highways, across many different states
Often times I'd wind up, showing up too late
And I've seen a lot of people, I seen them come and go
But now I'm running faster, so much faster than before
Cause it's a long, long way from Memphis to my heart
Yes it's a long, long way from Memphis to my heart
I hear a familiar highway song
Ive been stuck inside this town for way too long
So I'm finally on my way again
I guess it's
Safe to say I'll always find another friend
So I Head out for Los Angelees just lookin more
Across the Rocky Mountains towards the Golden Shore
And here I am again stepping out alone
I leave my pain behind me, no more achin' in my bones
Still it's a long, long way from Memphis to my heart
Yes it's a long, long way from Memphis to my heart
