Key:
G Well lightning struck at midnight with the thunder and the rainG My sleep was interrupted by the rhythm of a trainG I asked of the conductor where this ?ol train was boundG He punched my ticket then he whispered ?Memphis town?G But there ain?t no train to Memphis anymoreContinues after the adG You?ve got to take the highway whenD you goG Them rusty tracks from NashvilleC lay beside that stretch of roadG But there ain?t no train fromD G Memphis anymore Solo 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 clickity clack As I rode that phantom streamline on a west bound track Chorus 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 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 Chorus
