When I was young I spent my summer days
layin on the tracks
The sound of the wheel rollin on the steel
Took me out, took me back
Chorus:
Big train from Memphis
Big train from Memphis
Now it s gone gone gone
Gone gone gone
Verse 2:
Like no one before, he let out a roar
And I just had to tag along
Each night I went to bed with a sound in my head
And the dream was a song
(chorus)
(instrumental)
Verse 3:
Well I rode em in and back out again
You know what they say about trains
But I m tellin you, since that Memphis train came through
This whole world s not the same
(chorus)
(play E and fade)
