Whats the temperature darling? I dont stare into the past
There was nothing that we could change or fix, it was never gonna last
Now dont stare into those photos, dont memorize my eyes
Were just a mile or two from Memphis in the rhythm of our minds
[Chorus:]
A mile or two from Memphis
And I must go away
I tore up all the highways
Now theres nothing left to say
A mile or two from Memphis
And I finally made it home
There were days you paced the kitchen, there were nights that felt like jail
When the phone rang in the dead of night youd always throw my veil
No, you never touched the whiskey and you never took the pills
I travelled for a million miles while you were standing still
Whats the temperature darling as the daylight fades way?
Ill make one last rehearsal with one foot in the grave
We kept the house on all the corners, we kept the polished bass guitar
We kept the tickets and the wheels of tape to remember who we are
[Chorus:]
A mile or two from Memphis
And I must go away
I tore up all the highways
Theres nothing left to say
A mile or two from Memphis
And I finally made it home
Whats the temperature darling?
