Anywhere But Memphis Lyrics

Called her from a pay phone down on Beale Street On my way to Birmingham Said she was tired of never seein' me She needed more than a guitar man As the lonesome notes filled the midnight sky I wipe my tears and wish that I was
Anywhere but Memphis Any other place would have made a difference Way the blues pour out of the dives and bars Ain't no place for a broken heart She could've told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas Anywhere but Memphis
Wish she could have worked up her courage Let me down in Little Rock Or even as far back as Phoenix [ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/anywhere-but-memphis-lyrics-mark-wills.html ] When I stop to call from that truck stop And telling me sooner was just too hard She could've waited later to break my heart
Anywhere but Memphis Any other place would have made a difference Way the blues pour out of the dives and bars Ain't no place for a broken heart She could've told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas Anywhere but Memphis
Where the blues pour out of the dives and bars It ain't no place for a broken heart She could've told me in Baton Rouge or Dallas Anywhere but Memphis
