Big Train (From Memphis) lyrics

Song information

Artist: John Fogerty
Album: Centerfield

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

Chorus:
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

Chorus

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

Chorus
