Lyrics:

When I was young, I spent my summer days playin on the track.

The sound of the wheels rollin on the steel took me out, took me back.



Chorus:

Big train from memphis, big train from memphis,

Now its gone gone gone, gone gone gone.



Like no one before, he let out a roar, and I just had to tag along.

Each night I went to bed with the sound in my head, and the dream was a song.



Chorus



Well Ive rode em in and back out again - you know what they say about trains;

But Im tellin you when that memphis train came through,

This ol world was not the same.



Chorus
