Might Have Been Memphis Songtext

I can't do this - Gonna make it right
Lord, took your name in vain
I confess I've been raising Cain
Little girl singing in the choir
Grew up, started playing with fire
I said, ?What am I doin'
Goin' full speed ahead on the road to ruin??

Hard to say where it all went wrong
Always was a little headstrong
Turned my back on the golden rule
Got a reputation as a rebel in school
Mama said, ?You used to make us so proud
What are you doin', for cryin' out loud??
Why was I so blind?

I said, ?You're not gonna hold me down
I'm gettin' out of this one horse town
Not gonna listen to you anymore?
Stormed out the house and I slammed the door Jumped in the car and I put it in Drive
Hit the highway doin' ninety-five
Why was I so blind?

Up till dawn and sleep all day
Skin and bones and I'm wasting away
Wish I may and I wish I might
Be the child singing ?Silent Night?
On the phone I swore I wasn't cryin'
Daddy said, ?I always could tell when you were lyin'?
I said, ?Please - Can I come home??
