Tim Buppert - Fast Lane To Memphis Lyrics

Mom bought dad the franklin mint rendition
Of a nineteen ninety-five chevrolet
She said, "I'm giving you this gift in loving memory
Of the fun that lived and died in the good old days"

Remember how it was then, honey
Fender skirts and rock and roll
Carhops at the lone star drive-in
Elvis on the radio
We never used a map while cruisin' back roads
Heads or tails on a coin was our guide
How'd we hit the road that elvis rode to Memphis?
The fast lane that took his life

Give a coin a flip-flop find a different blacktop
We've headed down a fast lane to Memphis
Toss a coin so we will know which way to go
Just get me out of this
Fast lane to Memphis

We made a lot of miles and memories
In a fifty-five chevy car
Just cruisin' down the road to who knows where
A little too fast and far
But fast just ain't the same now, honey
The time has come for slowin' down
We're livin' on a fast lane to Memphis
It's not too late for turnin' round

Give a coin a flip-flop find a different blacktop
We've headed down a fast lane to Memphis
Toss a coin so we will know which way to go
Just get me out of this
Fast lane to Memphis
