Chords in this song5
Verse 1
I was hiding from the sun once again,
I was running from the time my friend,
I've lost another war.
So, I poured one more,
and went home drunk again.
She was up when the key hit the lock,
and the clock looked at me just like
the devil in disguise.
I saw it in her eyes-
she'd be gone before the evenin'.
Refrain
So, I poured another strong one
and chopped a line from here to Texas.
Cause I've lost another good one -
she's on the midnight train to Memphis.
Verse 2
With a brand new start,
I swore I'd love from the heart,
I meant to change my ways.
But I've seen better days,
than the one's that's here this mornin'.
With a wife and kids at home
with a job somewhere
on some assembly line.
I wish I had that life-
I bet you wish you had mine.
Refrain
So, let's pour another tall one
and chop a line from here to Texas.
Cause I've lost another good one-
she's on the midnight train to Memphis
(Spoken part - rap part - solo - omitted for space purposes)
Verse 3
With an old suitcase,
I swear I'll leave this place
I'll get you back in time
Can't drink you off my mind.
So, I'll see you when I'm sober.
Refrain
I been looking for some reasons,
but I ain't found one down in Texas
I been changing with the seasons,
Walkin' a new line back to Memphis.
