By townes van zandt Goin down to memphis Maybe get my ashes hauled I can drive me a car But I dont need no car at all I beleive Ill ride that memphis cannon ball She runs so fast You cant catch her from behind Ah, she runs so fast You cant catch her from behind But Ill be there waitin For that little memphis girl of mine Why I left Guess Ill never know Why I left Man, I guess Ill never know Sittin here thinkin Im one dumb-ass so and so Im headed back That memphis train She leaves real soon The memphis train Sound like she leaves real soon Got nothin to guide me cept the color of the moon Hangin over memphis Headed down Where the mississippi runs Boys Im headed home Back where the mississippi runs I hear theres some lovin there Try to get me some Headed down to memphis Maybe get my ashes hauled Just dont know Why I ever left at all Im gettin on that train, man, I aint even gonna call Be there fore the break of day
