Coast to Coast

Words & Music by Fred Knipe / Sixteen Stars Music (BMI)


It’s not just in the bedroom where she used to lay her head
Or the front room by the fire where we once passed the night instead
No, I have left these rooms and gone as far as I could drive
It’s even in the motels along U.S. 405



Coast to coast and wall to wall
It’s a mem’ry not much more than five feet tall
But the shadow’s that she’s casting seems to fall
Coast to coast and wall to wall



California seemed like someplace I could catch my breath
Get my mind off someone who still worries me to death
Even though she’s gone her mem’ry unlocks every door
And torments me in places I have never seen before



Coast to coast and wall to wall
It’s a mem’ry not much more than five feet tall
But the shadow’s that she’s casting seems to fall
Coast to coast and wall to wall



Bridge:
I’ll be rolling down the highway
Or strolling down the hall
Thinking things are going my way
And then her mem’ry comes to call



Lord, it’s coast to coast and wall to wall
It’s a mem’ry not much more than five feet tall
But the shadow’s that she’s casting seems to fall
Coast to coast and wall to wall
