2 cups of coffee and I'm back on the road 80 miles to memphis, is what the lady told She smiled and thanked me, when she picked up my change Says "you have a safe trip, stay out of the rain" Chorus: I'm lookin through the windsheild Holding back the night I'm lookin through the windsheild For the morning light The song on the radio, it used to make you cry I only heard the last verse, then it passed me by I asked you long ago, what you wanted in this life A long way from memphis, you became my wife Repeat chorus The coat you wore last winter, is the only thing you left behind I know it's warm in memphis, but you might need it some time It's 40 miles to memphis, but it's best to pass on through It's the only I took away that I can give back to you Repeat chorus I'm lookin through the windsheild No end in sight I'm lookin through the windsheild For the morning light
