I'm not some ordinary fool
who's gonna come crawling back to you

I'm an expert in heart ache
got a PHD in blues

I leave your memories on the Hwy
A mile marker at a time

I've got the windows roled down
to let the cool breeze clear my mind

I'm pretty good at we're through
But I've got miles of healing to do

I here those sweet sounds of Memphis
Ya'll tell the King I'm just passin' through

Gotta keep this south bound destination
With you and Nashville in the rear view

I leave your memories on the Hwy
A mile marker at a time

I've got the radio up
to ease this weary mind

I'm pretty good at we're through
But i've got miles of healing to do

With every mile I put behind me
I leave a thought that tries to bind me
to the love I thought I had with you

But like a river I'll keep rollin'
Cause there ain't no use in holdin'
To a trust that's been broke into

Yea, I'm pretty good at we're through
But I've got miles of healing to do

I can smell that mighty Mississipi
Ol' Muddy water preachin' to my soul

He tells the whole world my story
When he sang, Baby you dont't have to go

I leave your memories on the Hwy
A mile marker at a time

I've got this six string here
So baby, I'll be fine

I'm pretty good at we're through
But I've got miles of healing to do.

You make it sound true, that sadness is a great source of inspiration ... and probably the Memphis area too!

This is a very efficient and pleasant write/song, absolutely.

I feel your pain.  I am sorry you are going through that.  However, you have turned it into sensitive beauty and that is a good thing.

The wounds healed long ago just looking back on some old scars is all.
