Just a half a mile from the Mississippi Bridge

Only that I miss her and all the fun we had
But we were pulled apart because her mom did

And tore apart our happy home in Memphis Tennessee

With hurry home drops on her cheek
That trickled from her eye

Try to put me through to her in Memphis Tennessee
