Viewing lyrics for It's a long drive to Memphis by Bobby O'Neal.

What do ya say?...Can we get away?...Let's not let life be just a cliché
C'mon with me, like the old days...not just 'cause they say...let's play

Verse 1:
The truck is idling, scrape off the snow,
we love Oak Harbor but we gotta go
It's a long drive to Memphis...(but) we got each other with us
Plow our way through the Beaver state,
And then, hey look! There's the Golden Gate!
It's a long drive to Memphis...(but) we got each other with us

Verse 2:
Mesquite flowers paint the desert with purple strokes
I know God did it this way just to bless folks
It's a long way to Memphis...(but) we got each other with us
(And) the Arizona incline goes on forever
I wish for a tree but the desert says “never”
It's so far to Memphis...(but) we got each other with us

Chorus:
From Whidbey to Tennessee
I'll go with you. Will you go with me?
Two workin' side by side make a good team
You and me in Tennessee

Verse 3:
Lightning flashes in the distant sky
we're sleepin' in the Lone Star state tonight
Still a long drive to Memphis...we got each other with us
Fireflies make a lovely sight
(As we) sit and watch a quiet falling night
(And) here we are in Memphis...we got each other with us.
