Lyrics

The Great Divide
(Randall Lee Anderson/Betty K. Miller)

Five miles out of Memphis, She wants to turn the car around
She's thinking about going back to old familiar ground
But her mind keeps replaying scenes from their last fight
This time he was crying too, She speeds in into the night

There she was at the great divide
Holding on to the wheel and what's left of her pride
Though tears were falling on either side
She still crossed over the great divide

Five miles from Grand Junction she calls to tell him she's OK
Though he said he missed her he didn't have much else to say
As she drove on through the Rockies she couldn't stop thinking of him
Oh they had some good times too, and she was crying once again

There she was at the great divide
Holding on to the wheel and what's left of her pride
Though tears were falling on either side
She still crossed over the great divide

Though tears will fall on either side
She still crossed over the great divide
