Lyrics
Rainy day on the avenue
Hometown gray got me feeling blue
My baby's away so I talk to myself
Can't help thinking of somewhere else
There's another, another place another day
There's another place that I can stay
I got black coffee to keep me awake
Cheap liquor, what a mistake
There's no one around, there ain't nothing to do
Pack it up and find somewhere new
CHORUS
Well, I've never been to Memphis
Never seen the southern lights
Never thought I would, now I think I might
I've never seen the shine of the Tennessee moon
Maybe it's none, maybe it's none too soon
Out on the road, I can't look back
I-95 is like a racetrack
Got to Carolina, the sun broke through
Roll down the top, there's nothing but blue
There's another, another place another day
There's another place that I can stay
Goin' so fast, can't hear the radio
Signs say stop, but they really mean go
Maybe someday, I don't know when
I'll turn around and be home again
