Memphis & 53rd

"Come on man," she said

"We have to leave this town

I can't stand another day without the rain"

I said, "We'll leave now

you can pack our things

Let me get the bill and I can make it straight"

It was the same as yesterday

We've been gone

And the miles stretched down the long road

We moved as fast as we could

Through the heat of the desert

And the cruelty of the Buick's seat

Just to keep on

That night we laid on the floor of the desert

But I could barely sleep, yeah I had this dream

There was a man in a black car, with a man in the back seat

And I woke up in a cold sweat with her lyin' next to me

We've been gone

And the miles stretched down the long road

We moved as fast as we could

Through the heat of the desert

And the cruelty of the Buick's seat

Just to keep on

We sat on the corner of Memphis and 53rd

As they filled the tank, we had a drink

She whispered, "Let's get moving"

That night we laid on the floor of the desert

But I still couldn't sleep

There was a man in a black car with a man in the back seat

I'd wake up in a cold sweat with her lying next to me
