78 to Memphis
Streetlights in the rain glow like gold
This end of Tupelo ain't no mother lode
My old blue Freightliner, just a bit beyond her prime
Just like me, we're both biding time
Riding 78 to Memphis
This dog day night seals in my fears
And I know she'll be smiling when I get there
But this road's paved with all our best years
Every hinge, every doorknob, every stair that made a noise
All the places the kids left their toys
I thread the needle of silence, through the fabric of my kin
Where mile markers were my only friends
Riding 78 to Memphis
This dog day night seals in my fears
And I know she'll be smiling when I get there
But this road's paved with all our best years
Life on this road feels like stealing
Money and guilt double-dealing
But you pull yourself up, and you ride
Still you ride
Oh, two steps between us, or a thousand miles apart
We've always been joined at the heart
Now simple seems sweeter, I guess that comes with time
I can still feel her hand in mine
Riding 78 to Memphis
This dog day night seals in my fears
And I know she'll be smiling when I get there
But this road's paved with all our best years
This end of Tupelo ain't no mother lode
My old blue Freightliner, just a bit beyond her prime
Just like me, we're both biding time
Riding 78 to Memphis
This dog day night seals in my fears
And I know she'll be smiling when I get there
But this road's paved with all our best years
Every hinge, every doorknob, every stair that made a noise
All the places the kids left their toys
I thread the needle of silence, through the fabric of my kin
Where mile markers were my only friends
Riding 78 to Memphis
This dog day night seals in my fears
And I know she'll be smiling when I get there
But this road's paved with all our best years
Life on this road feels like stealing
Money and guilt double-dealing
But you pull yourself up, and you ride
Still you ride
Oh, two steps between us, or a thousand miles apart
We've always been joined at the heart
Now simple seems sweeter, I guess that comes with time
I can still feel her hand in mine
Riding 78 to Memphis
This dog day night seals in my fears
And I know she'll be smiling when I get there
But this road's paved with all our best years
