Memphis in my headlights your memory on my trail
Been chasing me a hundred miles or more away from that jail
Clearly it was case of mistaken identity
I was never at that place you said I was supposed to be
A woman will always lead you to the gates of the promised land
She'll leave you standing there alone with your gun out in your hand
You always seem outnumbered when the cards come tumbling down
The sky will get the darkest just before the sun comes back around
Lady luck's been turning her back on me since I can't remember when
Bad luck's been dogging me out I guess until the bitter end
I'm just trying to get out from under this heavy load
I'm just trying to move it all just a little farther down the road
Memphis can kiss my tail lights I'm leaving it all behind
Traveling at eight miles a minute I'm shaking it down the line
Something you said occurred to me but I can't remember when
You said I will come back begging you to let me come back in
Lady luck's been turning her back on me since I can't remember when
Bad luck's been dogging me out I guess until the bitter end
I'm just trying to get out from under this heavy load
I'm just trying to move it all just a little farther down the road
