This very night the train was right on time Baby stepped aboard and left the both of us behind now You've got to make your day and I've got to make my way Somehow someway away from you Memphis morning She's to me what sunshine is to you Her train cross the river flying now what will I do like Sunshine helps make your day she helped in her own way Without sunshine flowers waste away Memphis morning Oh oh Memphis morning you're not so pretty anymore Raise your bridges start your whistles blowing I don't know what I'm hanging round for Memphis morning
Now you hold too many memories Best thing I can do is leave you with 'em without me well If I come back this way now I'll try to plan my day So you won't see me passing through Memphis morning Oh oh Memphis morning...
