Lightning struck at midnight with the thunder and the rain My sleep was interrupted by the rhythm of a train I asked of the conductor where this ol` train was bound He punched my ticket then he whispered "Memphis town"
But there ain`t no train to Memphis anymore You`ve got to take the highway when you go Them rusty tracks from Nashville lay beside that stretch of road But there ain`t no train to Memphis any more
Well I pinched myself and crossed my heart to see if it was real Or was I just imagining the grinding of the wheels I swore I heard that whistle and the clickity clack As I rode that phantom streamline on a west bound track
Because there ain`t no train
Well we cruised into the delta like we woke up from a dream I felt a bit confused cause I was blinded by the steam I said "I come from Nashville and I just got off the train" And that driver looked at me as if he thought I was insane
Because there ain`t no train
