Got me one eye open
On this last long stretch
Can't wait to see
The moon over Memphis shine
And the gleaming skyline
A too well travelled road
Can leave a good man
Lonesome and dry
I'm counting on the
Mississippi river
To welcome me by
And the moon over Memphis
To light up my sky
Instead of these dark
And low clouds
Waiting to cry
- Chorus-
WhenI was younger
I needed to ramble
Not a bad gamble
For such a hunger
But now all I long for
Now that I'm road sore
Is a moonlit night
With the river in sight
Looking through my
Back door . . .
