Goin' down to memphis Maybe get my ashes hauled I can drive me a car But i don't need no car at all I beleive i'll ride that memphis cannon ball
She runs so fast You can't catch her from behind Ah, she runs so fast You can't catch her from behind But i'll be there waitin' For that little memphis girl of mine
Why i left Guess i'll never know Why i left Man, i guess i'll never know Sittin' here thinkin' I'm one dumb-ass so and so
I'm headed back That memphis train
She leaves real soon The memphis train Sound like she leaves real soon Got nothin' to guide me 'cept the color of the moon Hangin' over memphis
Headed down Where the mississippi runs Boys i'm headed home Back where the mississippi runs I hear there's some lovin' there Try to get me some
Headed down to memphis Maybe get my ashes hauled Just don't know Why i ever left at all I'm gettin' on that train, man, I ain't even gonna call Be there 'fore the break of day
