Townes Van Zandt - Going Down To Memphis lyrics

[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
