East of Eden, West of Memphis Lyrics

(Alan Morse & John Boegehold)

Once a lost soul raced his shadow
Down a dark road out of town
Tried to leave himself behind him
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS
Like a dagger through the heartland
Over gravel dust and glass
Storm-dark clouds and neon halos
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS

This is how the story goes
Took a miracle to make him go

Stopped at midnight miles from nowhere
Got out dropped down on his kneesSpocks Beard - East of Eden, West of Memphis - http://motolyrics.com/spocks-beard/east-of-eden-west-of-memphis-lyrics.html
In the dirt he wrote her name out
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS
Home was just a broken promise
No good reason to turn back
AM stations drift to static
EAST OF EDEN WEST OF MEMPHIS

The greatest story never told
Took a miracle to make him go

In a house there hangs a picture on the wall
Of them in better days before the bitter fall
Before a quiet man slipped out into the night
A disillusioned man walked out without a fight
