Train to Memphis
Verse:
She left her job at the Bar and Grille
Packed up her old suitcase
She says she tired of standing still
She needs a change of pace
She wants to feel the Southern sun shining on her skin
She wants to walk down the old avenue again
Chorus:
She?s on the Train to Memphis
She?s on the Train to Memphis
She wants to feel the difference
She?s on the Train to Memphis!
Verse:
The whistle blows she?s on her way
She gives a soft goodbye
She?s the daughter of Dixie
On a midnight ride
She wants to go to beauty college
She wants to touch the stars
With the help of a Memphis bound train car
Chorus:
And when she gets to Memphis
She starts to feel the difference
She will renew old kinships
She?s on the Train to Memphis!
Refrain:
It?s just your basic dream. Carries you downstream
And delivers you to the other side
In the dead of night you see city lights in the distance
Hold on tight!
Train to Memphis p.2
Verse
In the misty darkness
Of a Memphis morn
She steps down to the ground
Just like being born
I don?t know what became of her
Did she pass or fail ?
She?s in the land of Dixie I wish her well
Chorus
She?s on the Train to Memphis
She wants to feel the difference
She will renew old kinships
She?s on the Train to Memphis!
