Get Me On The Train To Memphis Lyrics

Get Me on the Train to Memphis (Pat Robinson) Rode into town on the midnight flyer special With a twenty dollar bill for a stash Got no jobs for the good ol' boy Six days gone, I ran outta cash Got me a meal at the Mission home Feel like I'm doin' time I wrote a letter home to my sweet woman Told her I was doin' fine Aah, get me on the train to Memphis Get me on the train, and fast Fever in my bones, got to get home Tennessee is callin' (she knows her son has fallen) Nothin' but rain for breakfast Don't know how long I can last Feelin' the pain, 'bout to go insane Get me on the train Panhandlin' down on Michigan Avenue Singin' for nickels and dimes Had to hock my ass for a dollar bill One more day and I'm over the line Livin' downtown at the Grand Hotel Room's two-fifty a day If I take another trip, I'm gonna skip Chicago I don't believe I'm gonna stay
