Terra Key - Eight Miles From Memphis (Cole’s Extended Version) Lyrics



Terra Key - Eight Miles From Memphis (Cole’s Extended Version) Lyrics
Official




My friend Travis said "Hear this fact loud and true
A song ain't the same just 'cause it shares a name with Ledoux
From vibrant blues to country gold each tune stands alone
Not like a Roadhouse scene with no fights poorly cloned
'Cause calling it 'Eight Second Ride' don't make it worth a play
Quality's not in the title but what the words convey
So let's listen to what they say
Drenched in clichés like a honky-tonk on Friday night
Cold beers tipping back under neon lights just right
A dusty old dog asleep in the bed of a pickup truck
Heartbreak rolling in like a freight train just my luck
Mama's praying hard in the pew as I sing of freedom and fight
Beneath the Southern stars where my family's roots grip tight
Where the Delta breezes blow hearts heavy in our chest
Memories of Eight Twelve Arlington where we put life to the test
Rob and Tonna laughed it off with our collie dog by our feet
But behind those smiles we all knew we'd hardly enough to eat
Cruising down Missouri Street with Travis in his old Ford ride
We're chasing dreams and Blue Devils on an Eight-second life
Eight miles from Memphis where our secrets can't hide
Our hearts ignite our souls alight embracing the night
By the bends of the Mississippi where old tales abide
In the Wonder City's heart we were determined to keep our pride
Past the house at Eight-1-2 now just memories and ash
Where we once grew tall before it fell in a fiery sudden flash
That porch no longer creaks silenced by flames that night
Yet here our simple lives still shine beneath the Arkansas light
Though we're scattered like cotton seeds the wind carries our tales
It's here Eight miles from Memphis where our heart never fails
Cruising down Missouri Street just kids in the twilight
We're chasing dreams once mere Blue Imps in an Eight second ride
Eight miles from Memphis where our childhoods can't hide
Our hearts ablaze like that old house our hopes can't be denied
Mississippi's call resonates like a lullaby of old
In the Wonder City's arms where our little lives unfold
Now as the sun dips low on the Broadway we once roamed
Gun Rob Kerley Byrd our hearts where they called home
Past the old dog track Swindler Timmy G and Lisa know
In this truckstop capital where fleeting shadows grow
A teaching icon left us too soon beneath the moon
In the Delta's embrace where memories still bloom
In the grasp of a harsh city Rick and Cathy lit our way
Mentor's actions mattered as the Burtons taught us every day
On his swift bike he races against the Evening's Time
Crossing paths where Wes and Byron played in streets of their prime
Each turn of the wheel spins stories old and new
Echoing through empty houses where dreams never came true
Passing Missouri Street Rob and Travis by my side
We caught Blue Devil Dreams with barriers denied
Eight Miles to Memphis but we can see the light
Seems like it took Eight seconds to get here overnight
Our journey's just a moment yet it spans a lifetime's road
Each second a stepping stone where memories have flowed
Crossing that Mississippi leaving the hardest days behind
Beyond the Wonder City The future no longer undefined
Years have passed since we ventured beyond Wonder City's glow
Where early dreams took root and youthful spirits began to grow
With distance and time we've found our paths unfold
Grateful for new horizons cherishing memories of old
