She said goodbye in tallahassee

I just crawled in my truck

Set my mind on miami

And my sights on better luck

[Chorus]

Ain't a man deserves to hurt like this

It's a lonely place, it sure is

Guess I never really knew the blues

Ever got this far from memphis

All the night life and the beaches

Couldn't soothe my achin' soul

And how I ended up in key west

God and the liquor only know

[Repeat chorus]

Now I've run out of road

So I guess my only hope

Is to trade this truck for a boat

[Repeat chorus]

Ever got this far from memphis

Man, I'm a long ways from memphis
