What's this song about?
Generate meaning
1
Well lightning struck at midnight with the thunder and the rain
2
My sleep was interrupted by the rhythm of a train
3
I asked of the conductor where this old train was bound
4
He punched my ticket then he whispered, "Memphis Town"
5
But there ain't no train to Memphis anymore
6
You've got to take the highway when you go
7
Well them rusty tracks from Nashville
8
Lay beside that stretch of road
9
But there ain't no train to Memphis any more
10
Well I pinched myself and crossed my heart to see if it was real
11
Or was I just imagining the grinding of the wheels
12
I swore I heard that whistle and the clic-kity clack
13
As I rode that phantom streamline on a west bound track
14
Because there ain't no train to Memphis anymore
15
You've got to take the highway when you go
16
Well them rusty tracks from Nashville
17
Lay beside that stretch of road
18
But there ain't no train to Memphis any more
19
Well we cruised into the delta like we woke up from a dream
20
I felt a bit confused 'cause I was blinded by the steam
21
Well I said, "I come from Nashville and I just got off the train"
22
And that driver looked at me as if he thought I was insane
23
Because there ain't no train to Memphis anymore
24
You've got to take the highway when you go
25
Well them rusty tracks from Nashville
26
Lay beside that stretch of road
27
But there ain't no train to Memphis any more
