Lyrics
I thought travelling would do it
Thought it would get you off my mind
so I gathered up some friends and rented a Mercedes Benz
And I drove right out of town
I drove all the way to Memphis in my favourite car
To tell you i can't love you if you stay the way you are
Thought staying away for awhile for might shake you
From that permanent seat in my soul
Now I'm 1000 miles away with nothing to show anyway
'Cuz all I can do is miss you
And I spent two years in Memphis driving under stars
Trying to convince myself I can't change the way you are
Then you disappeared like a star in the night sky
And I think "maybe now I can finally get by"
But trying to live life for me has only made me see
That I am incomplete without you
And I drove back home from Memphis in my favourite car
To tell you that I love you just the way you are
And I drove back home from Memphis in my favourite car
To show you that I love you just the way you are
