Big Train From Memphis lyrics

When I was young, I spent my summer days
Playin` on the track.
The sound of the wheels rollin` on the steel
Took me out, took 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`ve rode `em in and back out again
You know what they say about trains;
But I`m tellin` you when that Memphis train came through,
This ol` world was not the same.

Big Train from Memphis,
Big Train from Memphis,
Now it`s gone gone gone, gone gone gone.
