No Train To Memphis lyrics Lyrics

song lyrics No Train To Memphis lyrics Songwriters: Colladay, Brenda; Mead, Chuck; Wilson, Shaw; 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 song lyrics
