She said goodbye in Tallahassee
I just crawled in my truck
Set my mind on Miami

And my sights on better luck

[Chorus:]

Ain't a man deserves to hurt like this
It's a lonely place, it sure is
Guess I never really knew the blues

Ever got this far from Memphis

All the night life and the beaches

Couldn't soothe my achin' soul
And how I ended up in Key West
God and the liquor only know


[Repeat Chorus]


Now I've run out of road
So I guess my only hope
Is to trade this truck for a boat


[Repeat Chorus]


Ever got this far from Memphis
Man, I'm a long ways from Memphis
