Memphis (In a Two-seat Plane)

I flew to Memphis in a two-seat plane
 touch down in the pouring rain
 400 miles across the South
 still had the taste of bourbon in my mouth
 a leather jacket, guitar case
 said I'll make a record and we'll leave this place
 stood on the runway, it was time to go
 but it was four in the morning before you told me no
 an empty bottle, an empty seat
 Mississippi River running under my feet
 flew to Memphis in a two-seat plane without you
 and now I'm standing on the I-40 bridge
 a long, long way from blue valley ridge
 tonight I'm soaking up the memphis rain alone
 flew to Memphis in a two-seat plane
 touch down in the pouring rain
 I got a pocket full of wet cigarettes
 and a heart that hasn't given up yet
 the town's asleep, I'm all alone
 would it kill you Kate to pick up the phone?
 we been together since we met at school
 but now your hometown hero's just a cold, wet fool
 Chorus
 tonight I'm feeling like I'm better off dead
 Mississippi River running over my head
 flew to Memphis in a two-seat plane alone
 touch down in the pouring rain alone
 well, I flew to Memphis in a two-seat plane
