When I was young I spend my summer days playing on the track
The sound of the wheels rolling on the steel took me out and brought me back
Big train from Memphis, Big train from Memphis
Now it s 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
Big train from Memphis, Big train from Memphis
Now it s gone, gone, gone. Gone, gone, gone.
Well I rode em in and back out again. You know what they say about trains
But I m telling you when the Memphis train came through
this old world was not the same
Big train from Memphis, Big train from Memphis
Now it s gone, gone, gone. Gone, gone, gone.
