Lyrics

3am and I'm awake
Thinking I might take a break
Better wait until the morning comes
Cause it's still dark and I'm here all alone
5 miles from Memphis

Comb my hair and shave my legs
Clean my boots and buy a new dress
Pack my bags and leave this mess called home
Until then it's back to sleep I'll go
5 miles from Memphis

Dreaming I'm a motor biker
Cruising out like easy rider
Look out world I'm on my way
But I can't drive so I guess here I'll stay
5 miles from Memphis
Oh here I am awake again
Thinking about taking a train
Or a greyhound out across the interstate
With good intentions it's only 6am
And I'm 5 miles from Memphis

Well I think I'd like to get away
Even if it's for one day
In hopes these crazy dreams leave me alone
Or am I happy dreaming here at home
5 miles from Memphis
5 miles from Memphis
Oh 5 miles from Memphis
5 miles from Memphis
