100 Miles from Memphis lyrics

[Intro]
(Scent of an angel)
Keeps me driving all night just to get to you
(Scent of an angel)
I keep your picture on my dash just to get me through
(Scent of an angel)
Reminds me of those crazy nights down in Mexico
(Scent of an angel)
Oh, temptation got a way of turning the lights down low

[Verse 1]
You're cool in your faded blue jeans
Just a fool in a tequila soaked dream
But you ain't no saint
You know I ain't no beauty queen
I was stuck in this border town (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
If we make it out before sundown (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Baby, let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks

[Pre-Chorus]
I got nothing behind me (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Nothing left to remind me (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back
[Chorus]
So let's move on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from Memphis

[Verse 2]
The song playing in my head (Send me an angel)
Move on up ahead (Scent of an angel)
Sending a message 'cause I feel a little cold and blue (Scent of an angel)
Ah, expensive habit sure took one hold of you

[Verse 3]
Crawling in on a Sunday (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
And leaving town on Monday (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
There's a whole world waiting
Waiting on the other side of the line

[Pre-Chorus]
I got nothing behind me (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Nothing left to remind me (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Just a worn out picture
A vision of you by my side

[Chorus]
So let's head on down
Shake this town
Drive a while
A hundred miles from here
[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
(Rolling, rolling somewhere back in town)
We're stuck in this border town
If we make it out before sundown
Baby, let's slide on over
Over to the other side of the tracks

[Pre-Chorus]
I got nothing behind me (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Nothing left to remind me (Ooh, ooh, yeah)
Just a worn out picture
And a number written on the back

[Chorus]
So let's move on down
Get around
Shake this town
Drive a while
Go in style
A hundred miles from here (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)

[Outro]
Here comes the morning (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh, ooh)
And here comes the morning (Ooh, ooh, ooh)
Here comes the morning
Here comes the morning
Here comes the morning
