Rosanne Cash - Etta's Tune Lyrics
(Verse)What's the temperature darling? 100 and moreThe horses pawing out the dust, but it's Wilton by the doorBut you pour your strongest coffee and I'll take back of the wheelWe'll drive straight down the river road, spread a blanket on the hill(Verse)What's the temperature darling? I don't stare into the pastThere was nothing that we could change or fix, it was never gonna lastNow don't stare into those photos, don't memorize my eyesWe're just a mile or two from Memphis in the rhythm of our minds(Chorus)A mile or two from MemphisAnd I must go awayI tore up all the highwaysNow there's nothing left to sayA mile or two from MemphisAnd I finally made it home(Verse)There were days you paced the kitchen, there were nights that felt like jailWhen the phone rang in the dead of night you'd always throw my veilNo, you never touched the whiskey and you never took the pillsI travelled for a million miles while you were standing still(Verse)What's the temperature darling as the daylight fades way?I'll make one last rehearsal with one foot in the graveWe kept the house on all the corners, we kept the polished bass guitarWe kept the tickets and the wheels of tape to remember who we are(Chorus)A mile or two from MemphisAnd I must go awayI tore up all the highwaysThere's nothing left to sayA mile or two from MemphisAnd I finally made it homeWhat's the temperature darling?
