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
