Can't stop thinking of you
All these nights I've been crying on my pillow
Pushing down on my blue suede boots
Windows rolled down pedal to the metal
A Small town southern boy meets a midtown city girl
Wants to be true settle down I wanted to see the world
Chorus:
Forty miles from Memphis
I'm driving all night through
never know a good thing till it's gone
Took me a while to get this
I'm on my way back to you
Hope it's not to late when I get home
Forty miles from Memphis
I walked on the wild side
Followed anywhere the wind was blowing
Smooth talking, big time player lines
Pulled me in without me even knowing
Somewhere deep inside I still knew wrong form right
Running on empty blind then I Saw the light
Chorus:
Bridge:
Hope our love is not a wasteland
Don't leave me crying at the gates Graceland
Chorus:

A very clever songwriter and an album that bears many, many repeat listens. Worth the price for the Little Feat reference (in Tehachapi) alone, but it's her way with an image that sticks longest. "You left the building in a flurry / Had your boots on in the house." Caoimhín
Irresistible classic country music abounds on “Listening To The Music,” full of lap steel, walking bass, and heartwarming melodies. Bandcamp New & Notable Sep 5, 2020
