Title: JUST A COUNTRY ROAD FROM YOU
Singer: UNK
Writers: Robert Morrison, James & William Zerface

ALTERNATE TITLES:
30 MILES FROM MEMPHIS
THIRTY MILES FROM MEMPHIS [legal title]

I'm eatin' dust down in El Paso
Pawn'd[?] my guitar in San Antone
Walked down the midnight street in Frisco
All alone - no place left to go

Spent a stormy day in Jackson
Rode my thumb to Baton Rouge
Now I'm thirty miles from Memphis
Just a country road from you
Just a country road from you

Sent you mail from Cincinatti
You went my bail in New Orleans
There's a man in Kansas City
Still wants to shoot me, sight unseen

Dealt a losin' hand in Vegas
Tucson showed me nothin' new
Now I'm thirty miles from Memphis
Just a country road from you
Just a country road from you

When I see you I'll be sayin'
Hello darlin', goodbye blues
This old outlaw won't be strayin'
More than a country road away from you

Dealt a losin' hand in Vegas
Tucson showed me nothin' new
Now I'm thirty miles from Memphis
Just a country road from you
Just a country road from you

[Spoken line] I don't wanta be more than
A country road from you, girl

Just a country road from you
[Just a country road from you-B/U singers]
Talkin' 'bout just a country road from you
