outside of town there's a big long road
if I lose my plans I can ease my load 
outside of town there's a big long road 
with the wind at my back i can never grow old 

I can hope for the best 
and drink off the shakes 
hopin' it'll bring her back 
to my arms someday 
or I can go on out in those great big plains
I can stick around or leave today 

I just 

hope I've got enough to get to memphis
then I'll have enough for baton rouge
keep on riding' west for texas
hell, I haven't got a single thing to lose 
but what if my heart is weary, now
as it is restless?  
I just hope I've got enough to get to memphis 

I can forget the past
and find someone else 
I can push so hard 
but only time will tell
if all that love was fadin' 
in the review mirror
I gotta step away to see a little more clear
I've gotta step away to see the road, my dear 

or I can burn out and mean nothing to no one
I can say I tried when I was young 
you can lie to yourself 
until you think it's the true, 
but it's only gonna end up digging' in you...

I just 

hope I've got enough to get to memphis
then I'll have enough for baton rouge
keep on riding' west for texas
hell, I haven't got a single thing to lose 
but what if my heart is weary, now
as it is restless?  
I just hope I've got enough to get to memphis 

I just hope I've got enough to get to memphis
then I'll have enough for baton rouge
keep on riding' west for texas
hell, I haven't got a single thing to lose 
but what if my heart is weary, now
as it is restless?  
I just hope I've got enough to get to memphis
