John Fogerty - Big Train (From Memphis) lyrics

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
