No Train To Memphis

	  		G 
Well lightning struck at midnight with the thunder and the rain 
G 
My sleep was interrupted by the rhythm of a train 
  G 
I asked of the conductor where this ?ol train was bound 
   G 
He punched my ticket then he whispered ?Memphis town? 
 
 
 
          G 
But there ain?t no train to Memphis anymore 
       G                                D  
You?ve got to take the highway when you go 
     G                                 C 
Them rusty tracks from Nashville lay beside that stretch of road 
          G                   D          G  
But there ain?t no train from Memphis anymore 
 
Solo 
 
Well I pinched myself and crossed my heart to see if it was real 
Or was I just imagining the grinding of the wheels 
I swore I heard that whistle and the clickity clack 
As I rode that phantom streamline on a west bound track 
 
Chorus 
 
Well we cruised into the delta like we woke up from a dream 
I felt a bit confused cause I was blinded by the steam 
I said ?I come from Nashville and I just got off the train? 
And that driver looked at me as if he thought I was insane 
 
Chorus
