Stuck in Memphis
[Verse 1]
I’m stuck in Memphis for another night
Had a note that said you just miss me
But I can tell its breaking your heart
Can I come home early maybe catch a train
Well there’s a Union Pacific leaving quarter to four
And I hear the whistle calling my name

[Chorus]
And the road keeps getting rougher
As we’re moving down the line
If I make it back home by sun up
She’ll still be mine

[Verse 2]
I stopped in Jackson on the way back home
I saw a friend who had a fresh bottle of wine
And you know I never turn down a loan
I promise baby I’m coming back
Working 9 to 5 means losing my mind
And you know I gotta make some scratch
[Chorus]
And the road keeps getting rougher
As we’re moving down the line
If I make it back home by sun up
She’ll still be mine

[Verse 3]
I got home early but that girl was gone
She left a Dear John letter by the kitchen sink
Guess maybe I was away too long

[Chorus]
And the road keeps getting rougher
As we’re moving down the line
If I make it back home by sun up
She’ll still be mine
