I spend all my days at home, I Used to spend them on the road With 18 wheels to carry me And highway far as I could see ♪ I didn't mind the time alone, I Listened to the radio That's one thing I still do these days When a song that gets me plays Oh, I'm halfway to Memphis In my mind ♪ Didn't happen overnight, it Took a while to lose my sight And I drove longer than I should, I Had to prove that I still could ♪ 'Cause that was not a job for me, I Would've hauled those loads for free Now when I take the bus to town I close my eyes as soon as I sit down And I'm halfway to Memphis In my mind I'm halfway to Memphis In my mind
