Well I left him in Montana, broke my heart to say goodbye
I never thought I'd leave him there to start a brand new life
I rented an apartment just a few streets off of Beale
Thought a new direction just might help the way I feel
Took a job here waitin' tables, man what a change of view
From a small town near Missoula to the "City of the Blues"
I show up an hour early and my boss he thinks I'm great
He don't understand it's just a habit I can't break
'Cause it's still Mountain Time in Memphis
I thought I left it ะตighteen hundred miles behind
'Causะต it's still Mountain Time in Memphis
And I've still got a lot of heartache here to climb
Well, I haven't been to Graceland 'cause every time I think I might
I wonder if he's lonesome, and is he missin' me tonight?
He's a memory even Elvis can't help gettin' past
Seems any time I want to I can turn that old clock back
'Cause it's still Mountain Time in Memphis
I thought I left it eighteen hundred miles behind
'Cause it's still Mountain Time in Memphis
And I've still got a lot of heartache here to climb
I could say I'm gettin' used to these tall buildings in the sky
But that would be a lie
'Cause it's still Mountain Time in Memphis
I thought I left it eighteen hundred miles behind
'Cause it's still Mountain Time in Memphis
And I've still got a lot of heartache here to climb
And I've still got a lot of heartache here to climb
