She said goodbye in Tallahassee

I just crawled in my truck

Set my mind on Miami

And my sights on better luck

Ain ' t a man deserves to hurt like this

It ' s a lonely place it sure is

Guess I never really knew the blues

Ever got this far from Memphis

All the night life and the beaches

Couldn ' t soothe my achin ' soul

And how I ended up in Key West

God and the liquor only know

Ain ' t a man deserves to hurt like this

It ' s a lonely place it sure is

Guess I never really knew the blues

Ever got this far from Memphis

Now I ' ve run out of road

So I guess my only hope

Is to trade this truck for a boat

Ain ' t a man deserves to hurt like this

It ' s a lonely place it sure is

Guess I never really knew the blues

Ever got this far from Memphis

Ever got this far from Memphis

Man I ' m a long ways from Memphis
