Back to Memphis - Billy Ray Cyrus

It ain't natural for a delta man 
to be surrounded by all this sand 
to fear the echoes of live rounds 
and to never sleep when the sun goes down 
so I'm writing you this letter 
to say I miss you more than ever and to promise you this 

when I make it back to memphis 
I'm gonna take you in my arms 
and never let you go 
and girl I promise you a kiss 
for every day we've missed 
'til I make it back to memphis 

I'll have to say I think we've done some good 
if I had to do it all again I know I would 
there's still a few shots every now and then 
but they say this thing is finally coming to an end 
so this might be my final letter 
I say the sooner the better cause I'm ready to come home 

when I make it back to memphis 
I'm gonna take you in my arms 
and never let you go 
and girl I promise you a kiss 
for every day we've missed 
'til I make it back to memphis 

she reads his letters everyday, then she puts them all away 
next to his medal and a flag, that she would gladly give back 

if it would bring him back to memphis 
so he could take her in his arms 
and never let her go 
cause she's still waiting for a kiss 
for every day they've missed 
'til he made it back to memphis 

back to memphis
