Country roads, old theater marquee signs
Parking lots and billboards flying by
Spanish mosques, 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 rolling 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 seeing 'em with you baby, oh, they never do it 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 rolling 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 you and me
Every day a page turned down, every night a lonesome sound
Like a freight train rolling through my dreams
Every mile a memory
Every mile, a memory
Every mile, a memory
