LIGHTS OUT
(Lisa Marie Presley, Glen Ballard and Clif Magness)
You were a million miles behind
And I was crying every time I"d leave you
Then I didn"t want to see you
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That"s where my family"s buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis. In the damn back lawn
I didn"t know that I was in the crowd
And the fresh cut grass stopped growing
Everything on my shelf has fallen
I still keep my watch two hours behind
Someone turned the lights out there in Memphis
That"s where my family"s buried and gone
Last time I was there I noticed a space left
Next to them there in Memphis. In the damn back lawn
Was that bridge I was crossing
Somewhere I stopped walking
I guess I fell off on my own
I heard all the roads they lead to Memphis
Except for the one I"m stumbling down
And I"ll be damned if I ever get this
Little son of a bitch from Memphis
Well it"s all there I guess
And I haven"t forgot
