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
