[Verse]
Going down to Memphis and maybe get my ashes hauled
I can drive me a car man but I don't need no car at all
I believe I'll ride that Memphis cannon ball
She runs so fast you can't catch her from behind
Ah, she runs so fast and you can't catch her from behind
But I'll be there waiting for that little Memphis girl of mine
Why I left guess I'll never know, no no
Why I left man, I guess I'll never know
Sitting here thinking I'm one dumb-a** so and so
I headed back that Memphis train she leaves real soon
The Memphis train sound like she leaves real soon
Got nothing to guide me accept the colour of the moon hanging over Memphis
Headed down where the Mississippi runs
Boys I'm headed home back where the Mississippi runs
I hear there's some loving there try to get me some
Headed down to Memphis maybe get my ashes hauled
Just don't know why I ever left at all
I'm getting on that train, man I ain't even going to call
Be there before the break of day
