Memphis Tonight
Words and Music by:
Michael L Prather
The highway disappears behind us
as we head on into the night
Like we come from nowhere at all
miles lost in the distance
dropping away like the memories
of our old lives
And these are the moments
we dreamed of
in the quiet of the night
and the more we think about
the road up ahead
the more we bury the
the hours left behind
We set out to find
the rest of our days
in the middle of August
on a promising highway
Closer to dreamland
and a little farther away
from the hell we left behind
and we'll make Memphis tonight
Now we're looking for answers
in the heat of the night
the search goes on in
in the face of those headlights
rolling down that highway
we still got a long way to go
but we'll make Memphis
tonight
We set out to find
the rest of our days
in the middle of August
on a promising highway
Closer to dreamland
and a little farther away
from the hell we left behind
and we'll make Memphis tonight
And I don't know just what to expect
is it highs or lows that wait for us yet
But I know I can face it with you by my side
and each step along the way
is a part of the play for a new life
and we'll make Memphis tonight
we'll make Memphis tonight
Michael, this is another version of the American folk song. What a great voice you have, how nice the little blues harp interludes fall into place.
Well, mid August, close to Memphis, ain´t no fun on the highway, time to contemplate, time to think about the life you have and had. Here are your words:
