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
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
