When she told me she was leaving, I told her I'd be fine I guess I never thought she'd make it to that city limit sign Lord, I waited twenty minutes thinking she'd come running back But this fool got fooled 'cause she's already out there making tracks She's just a mile outside of Memphis and I'm already out of my mind I must have lost my senses to let that little girl leave me behind I wish that I could stop her but I know that it's too late Her mind's made up she's headed down that interstate She's a mile out of Memphis and I'm already out of my mind You gave her heartaches until she'd had enough She laid her cards on the table and that's when she called your bluff Oh, you never should have gambled what you could not stand to lose And now you know why they call Memphis the home of the blues, oh yeah She's just a mile outside of Memphis Lord, I wish that I could stop her but I know that it's too late Her mind's made up, boy, she's out on that interstate She's ain't a mile out of Memphis and I'm already out of your mind Oh, I can't stop her this time She's just a mile out of Memphis and I'm already out of my mind
