Lyrics

Hey left me in a summer blaze
he took his pride but his baggage stays around
Inside my head
We burned like wood and kerosene
Then parted closest enemies
With hearts bleeding red

Guess I'll take a chance on a silver train
a Greyhound bus or an airplane
Gonna buy a ticket that I cant change
in case I change my mind

I think Im gonna run to Memphis
where I can stand in front of Graceland in the rain
Gonna find myself a lonely street and settle in
and pray that someday I will be myself again

At home somebody waits for me
he's tall and sweet and strong as he can be
but he's not the one
You can't run from memories
they'll curl themselves in corners you can't see till they come undone

Gonna hold myself together
with these frail and fragile strings
gonna tune them with my fingers
gonna try and make them sing

I think Im gonna run to Memphis
where I can stand in front of Graceland in the rain
Gonna find myself a lonely street and settle in
and pray that someday I will be myself again

This heart's gonna wind up missing if I keep on giving it away, giving it away
Feels like there's something missing, cause I keep on giving it away, giving it away

The streets not so lonely once you've settled in.

I think Im gonna run to Memphis
where I can stand in front of Graceland in the rain
Gonna find myself a lonely street and settle in
and pray that someday I will be myself again
