This is a character sketch of a man whose had it all his way for far too long. She gave him fair warning but he never thought she’d actually leave him.
The song will remind some of one Little Milton wrote and appears on the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss Raising Sand album, “Let Your Loss Be You...
When she told me she was leaving
I said, "Honey, that'd be fine"
I guess I never thought she'd make it
To that city limit sign
Lord, I waited twenty minutes
I thought she'd come running back
But this fool got fooled
Cause she's already out there making tracks
She's just a mile outside of Memphis
And I'm already out of my mind
Lord, I must have lost my senses
To let that little girl leave me behind
I wish that I could stop her
But I know that it's too late
Her mind's made up
She's headed down that Interstate
She's a mile out of Memphis
And I'm already out of my mind
You gave her heartaches
Until she'd had enough
She laid her cards on the table
And that's when she called your bluff
Oh, you never should have gambled
What you could not stand to lose
And now you know why they call Memphis
The home of the blues, oh yeah
She's just a mile outside of Memphis
