Country roads, old theater marquee signs Parkin' lots, and billboards flyin' by Spanish moss, little hick town squares Wild roses on a river bank Girl, it's almost like you're there Oh, every mile, a memory; every song, another scene From some old movie going back in time, you and me Every day, a page turned down; every night, a lonesome sound Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams Every mile, a memory Red sun down, out across the western sky Takes me back to the fire in your eyes Texas stars in a purple night Not seein' 'em with you baby Oh, they never do look right, no Every mile, a memory; every song, another scene From some old movie going back in time, you and me Every day, a page turned down; every night, a lonesome sound Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams Every mile, a memory Funny how no matter where I run 'Round every bend I only see Just how far I haven't come Every mile, a memory; every song, another scene From some old movie going back in time, Every day, a page turned down; every night, a lonesome sound Like a freight train rollin' through my dreams Every mile, a memory Every mile, a memory Every mile, a memory
