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
