LAST TRAIN TO MEMPHIS

Nat King Cole and Louis Armstrong
Sitting in the cold when the truck pulled along
Driven by the boy in the dyed black hair
Asked him where he's going and he said everywhere

And oh its the last train to Memphis
And oh don't you wonder where its gonna take us
But I gotta get back, get the train on the track
Nose to the grindstone pick up the slack

Governor Wallace and Robert E. Lee
Wonder what these rebels would think of me
Love me tender on a Highway sixty one
In every other car someone's carrying a gun

And oh its the last train to Memphis
And oh don't you wonder where its gonna take us
But I gotta get back, put the train on the track,
stoke up the fire, pick up the slack

Its a land of dreams
Its not all it seems
Its a store of Tupelo honey
Down the freedom trail
On a cotton bail
Its the overnight mail

Stonewall Jackson and Pickett's Charge
Mississippi river and life on a barge
Wal Mart shopping on a Sunday afternoon
Chicken fried steak couldn't come too soon

And oh its the last train to Memphis
And oh don't you wonder where its gonna take us
But I gotta get back, put the train on the track
Upstairs Graceland heart attack

Too many ribs right off the rack
Thought I knew the answer but I never look back
