big train (from memphis) (Text & musik: J. Fogerty) 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]
