No Train to Memphis
BR5-49

Well lightning struck at midnight with the thunder and the rain

My sleep was interrupted by the rhythm of a train

I asked of the conductor where this old train was bound

He punched my ticket then he whispered, Memphis Town


But there ain't no train to Memphis anymore

You've got to take the highway when you go

Well them rusty tracks from Nashville

Lay beside that stretch of road

But there ain't no train to Memphis any more


Well I pinched myself and crossed my heart to see if it was real

Or was I just imagining the grinding of the wheels

I swore I heard that whistle and the clic-kity clack

As I rode that phantom streamline on a west bound track


Because there ain't no train to Memphis anymore

You've got to take the highway when you go


Well them rusty tracks from Nashville

Lay beside that stretch of road

But there ain't no train to Memphis any more


Well we cruised into the delta like we woke up from a dream

I felt a bit confused 'cause I was blinded by the steam

Well I said, I come from Nashville and I just got off the train

And that driver looked at me as if he thought I was insane


Because there ain't no train to Memphis anymore

You've got to take the highway when you go

Well them rusty tracks from Nashville

Lay beside that stretch of road

But there ain't no train to Memphis any more
