"Last Train To Memphis" lyrics

"Last Train To Memphis"

Lonely sunset, Mississipi cotton fields
Daddy's crying he can't pay this bills
Mamma tells me it's gonna be alright
Play that Gospel Music we can make it through the night

Hear this black man talking about Memphis Tennesse
Battle place call Beale Street
Where the blues are wild and free
Mamma can we go there?
It sures sounds like fun
Daddy say let's do it, and the journey has began

Last train to Memphis
Keeps on calling me
Last train to Memphis
Could be the last chance to find my destiny

Here comes that rainbow
How long it will last?
Looking out my window
It's going by so fast
Mamma can I buy you a brand new cadillac?
Parket in your drive way shinning pink and black

Last train to Memphis
Keeps on calling me
Last train to Memphis
Could be the last chance to find my destiny

All my dreams rolling down the track
I got this feeling we ain't never coming back
This way I guess I knew somewhere deep inside
That mistery train will take me for a ride someday

Hear this black man talking about Memphis Tennesse
Battle place call Beale Street
Where the blues are wild and free
Mamma can we go there?
It sures sounds like fun
Daddy say let's do it, and the journey has began

Last train to Memphis
Keeps on calling me
Last train to Memphis
Could be the last chance to find my destiny
Last train to Memphis
Rolling down the track
Last train to Memphis
We are leaving and we ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
