Onely sunset, Mississipi cotton fields
Daddy's crying he can't pay these bills
Mamma tells me it's gonna be alright
Play that Gospel Music we can make it through the night

Heard this black man talking 'bout Memphis, Tennesse
About a place call Beale Street
Where the blues are wild and free
Mamma can we go there?
Sures sounds like fun
Daddy said let's do it, and the journey has begun

Last train to Memphis
Keeps on calling me
Last train to Memphis
Could be the last chance to find my destiny

Here comes that rainbow
How long it will last?
Looking out my window
It's going by so fast
Mamma can i buy you a brand new cadillac?
Park it in your driveway shinning pink and black

Last train to Memphis
Keeps on calling me
Last train to Memphis
Could be the last chance to find my destiny
All my dreams rolling down the track
I got this feeling we ain't never coming back
This way guess i knew somewhere deep inside
That mystery train would take me for a ride someday

Heard this black man talking 'bout Memphis, Tennesse
About a place call Beale Street
Where the blues are wild and free
Mamma can we go there?
Sures sounds like fun
Daddy said let's do it, and the journey has begun

Last train to Memphis
Keeps on calling me
Last train to Memphis
Could be the last chance to find my destiny
Last train to Memphis
Rolling down the track
Last train to Memphis
We are leaving and we ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
Ain't coming back
